I am registered with the ICO (Information Commissioners Office) which means that I need to tell you what data I am collecting from you and what I intend to do with it.
I will hold the following data –
Name and age – this is basic information that helps me get to know you.
Address, email, phone number – I use this as a way of contacting you regarding your sessions. I will mainly use the method you first contacted me on.
I will ask for your GP’s contact details and, if you agree, will also hold this information.
Confidentiality
All personal and sensitive data is treated with strict confidentiality.
Your name & contact details will be shared with my Therapeutic Executor so that, in the unlikely event of my sudden death, you can be contacted.
In order to improve my therapeutic work, I refer to the content of our sessions in supervision which is also bound by confidentiality. In these settings you will remain anonymous and unidentifiable.
If I believe there to be any threat of harm to you or another, I may break confidentiality by contacting external services. Wherever possible this would be discussed with you first.
