FAQs
Are all our appointments confidential?
Your counselling sessions are confidential within the service and this confidentiality will apply to any records in accordance with the GDPR & Data Protection Act. All counsellors are required to be in supervision, and I will take relevant issues from the counselling relationship into supervision. In supervision, I will take care to preserve clients’ anonymity.
In exceptional circumstances confidentiality may be broken. The circumstances could include:
· Where you as a client give consent for the confidence to be broken.
· Where I feel it is appropriate to consult with or involve other professionals such as your GP in circumstances where there is a risk of harm to you or to a third party. In such cases I will aim to discuss any action with you first and seek to gain your co-operation.
· Where in extreme cases I am legally compelled by a court of law.
· Where statutory law requires me to inform the relevant authorities (such as terrorist activities, serious crime, drug trafficking, money laundering, or abuse of a child or vulnerable adult).
