1. Information about you

1.1 I collect personal information from you when you enquire about our counselling services to set up an initial appointment. This information includes contact details, your availability and other relevant personal information. Once a client finishes Counselling, all data regarding his/her counselling sessions is stored securely for 5 years and then destroyed.

1.2 When you enquire about Counselling, I will ask for contact details and relevant personal information from you that is needed to answer your enquiries and to keep you informed.

2.1 Your data will be used only to provide you with my services and to give you information relating to my services. I will not share your details with any other person or organisation without your knowledge and permission unless there is a legal requirement as stated in the counselling contract.

A breach of confidentiality is when a person shares information with another in circumstances where it is reasonable to expect that the information will be kept confidential.

Email, unless encrypted, is not a fully secure means of communication. Whilst I endeavour to keep my systems and communications protected against viruses and other harmful effects, I cannot bear responsibility for all communications being virus-free.
