Privacy Policy

Privacy & Data Protection

Your privacy is important to me. Any personal information you provide will be handled with care, respect and in accordance with UK data protection law.

I may collect and use personal information to respond to enquiries, arrange appointments, provide counselling, maintain appropriate professional records, communicate with you and meet relevant legal, professional and safeguarding responsibilities.

Depending on the circumstances, information may be processed on the basis of contract, legitimate interests, legal obligation or consent. Counselling may also involve sensitive information relating to your health and wellbeing, which will be handled in accordance with the additional requirements for special category data.

Information will only be collected and used where necessary, kept securely and retained only for as long as required for legitimate professional, legal or business purposes.

Counselling is confidential, although there are circumstances where confidentiality may need to be limited, such as where there is a serious risk of harm, a safeguarding concern or a legal requirement to disclose information.
