Confidentiality
All conversations we have remain confidential. The only time confidentiality does not apply is if I am concerned that you or someone else is at risk of serious harm, in which case I may need to pass some information on to relevant parties only. However, I will discuss this with you first where possible.
I may discuss aspects of our work with my supervisor (an experienced counsellor) to assist our work together and develop my practice but your identity would remain anonymous.
I am registered with the Information Commissioners Office (ICO) as a controller of sensitive data and work to their standards for storing any information about you. More information can be found at: The Information Commissioner’s Office.
Insurance
I have insurance for personal liability and professional indemnity which covers me to work almost anywhere in the world (with the exception of Canada and the USA).
Any claims made against me are subject to UK law.
Complaints
I hope you will never have cause to complain, but if you do have any complaints about my work, please try to resolve it with me first. Hopefully, we can work through it together.
If we cannot resolve your complaint, then you can raise the issue with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society. Please see their contact details below.
