Privacy

From May 2018 any information I hold about you will be protected in the following way:

Phone numbers and email addresses will be deleted when you stop using my services. I will never contact you through social media. Any correspondence we may have through texts or emails will be deleted on a monthly basis. 

All client records are held in written form in hard copy only. Handwritten notes are identified by code and stored separately from any email details. Both forms of data are locked in separate cabinets to which I am the only person with access. These notes will be destroyed 2 years after all counselling has ended.

No data is passed onto a third party unless for legal or safeguarding reasons in which case prior consent by you will always be sought.

All records pertaining to payment of my services are password protected. I am obliged legally to hold these details for tax purposes but again these details will be destroyed after the obligatory period of time.

If you have any concerns then please talk to me during sessions or contact me as soon as possible.
