Confidentiality policy
Any discussion you have with me is private and will remain that way. However, in keeping within the law and good practice guidelines, there are some situations where information may be shared:
Regular clinical supervision from another qualified therapist/supervisor is required in order to ensure that my work operates at a safe and high standard. During supervision only your first name will be used in order to protect your anonymity.
If you or others are in serious danger, I have a legal duty to inform outside agencies for example the police. In every instance I shall inform you first if it is safe to do so.
A Court Subpoena is where a court of law may request information about you even without your permission. This is very rare but if you think it is a possibility please discuss with me first.
If it is decided that a supervised reduction in substances is necessary, your GP or private healthcare provider will need to know your details. This will only be done with your full knowledge and permission.
All administration i.e. report writing, letters, etc. is done by me. All phone calls and emails are only seen, heard and responded to by me.
