Initial enquiries:

When you make contact, any personal data you have given will be held (for example your email address, or phone number if you call me). This information is held in a secure manner, on password-protected electronic devices, solely for the purpose of offering you counselling. If you do not go on to work in therapy, this data will be deleted after a year. The data is held during this period in case you decide to enquire about therapy again. To further protect your privacy, please be advised to keep any electronic communications to straightforward material, for example, arranging an initial session. More sensitive information (including matters you may wish to work on in therapy) should be communicated over the phone or in person.

​

If therapy is pursued:

Prior to your first session I will send you a therapeutic contract, which contains fuller details around record keeping, confidentiality and data protection. If you have any questions about this, we can go over those before you sign and agree to the terms.
