Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapies (BABCP) accredited and who regularly
reviews my practice.
I am committed to maintaining confidentiality regarding our sessions, with exceptions
in cases of risk of harm to yourself or others. If this occurs, I may need to alert
external authorities with your knowledge, in line with my duty of care.
As a fully accredited member of the British Association of Behavioural and Cognitive
Psychotherapies (BABCP) and EMDR Association UK I adhere to their ethical
framework and guidelines to ensure that you receive a professional and quality
service.

Retention and Sharing of Data
Your information is kept for the time necessary to provide the therapy service
requested, however outside of this I will hold your details and session notes for a
period of 7 years following the end of treatment to comply with legal obligations that
are placed upon me by my insurers. The lawful basis for my holding and using your
information is in relation to the delivery of a contract to you as a health care
professional. After this date, all data will be securely deleted.
There may be times where your information needs to be shared with 3rd parties. I
will explicitly ask your consent before doing so, and the data will be sent to 3rd
parties securely.
