'All good therapy requires attention to confidentiality.

The client needs to feel safe that the content they bring

is treated with the utmost respect and privacy.'

I work with the code of Ethics and Practice required by the association I am accredited with.

The ‘Ethical Framework for Good Practice in Counselling and Psychotherapy’ (EFGPCP)

Promoted by The British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy

Note: all therapist that are accredited with a credible organisation will be required to engage in supervision to ensure 'best practice'. during this process a therapist may discuss elements of case work.

What does confidentiality mean with regards to therapy?

It means that I will protect your identity and details of subject matter disclosed in therapy, by keeping records in accordance with data protection.

I will keep the content of our conversation private unless it contravenes certain areas, which forces me to disclose for the safety or protection of another. Example: if a child is at risk (child protection issue).

I will discuss with you the limits of confidentiality during our first appointment. I have a written copy of my practice counselling agreement which I request that clients sign before we embark upon working together. This is to ensure you understand fully the process of therapy and the limits of confidentiality.

The agreement is also a way of you understanding the commitment I am making to you while we are working together.

BACP is the largest professional association for counsellors and psychotherapists in the U.K. Its main aims are to promote the professions of counselling and psychotherapy and to set and monitor standards of good practice, including the training and supervision of counsellors and psychotherapists.
