Your safety is important and matters! 

The information you share during sessions will be kept strictly safe and confidential and will not be shared with anybody else* unless I am concerned about your or somebody else's safety.

If during a session, you disclose something that may mean that you or somebody else is at risk of danger, abuse or serious injury, then this information will need to be reported as a safeguarding concern. This information will only be shared in order to keep you and/or the people you know safe. I will always try and speak to you before this gets reported so that you know the steps and procedures of safeguarding, so that you feel safe, supported and cared for during this time and after. 

*I will be taking part in regular clinical supervision in order to do the best job I can for you, sometimes this may mean speaking about clients in order to gain a better understanding in how to help you in the best way possible, but no identifying and personal information about clients will be mentioned in order to keep your anonymity unless there is a safeguarding concern. 

All personal information that you share with me will be held securely and either locked away with a key (If in paper form) or under password protected files (if on the computer) following GDPR (The General Data Protection Regulations) rules and policies.
