The data that you give us will not be shared with anyone unless; you give us your permission to do so, you or someone else is at serious risk of harm, or the law permits us to do so.
Any notes taken during or after counselling sessions are filed away in a locked cabinet for at least seven years; all electronic information is password-protected, stored on secure servers and shared using encryption.
All counsellors have monthly supervision to ensure ethical practice. During supervision cases are presented omitting names so that individuals can not be identified.
