Confidentiality Policy

Your privacy and trust are deeply respected.

Anything you share with me in sessions, programmes, retreats, or conversations is treated with care and confidentiality.

I do not share personal information about you with others.

There are a few rare situations where confidentiality may need to be broken in order to protect safety.

Confidentiality may need to be broken if I believe there is a serious risk of harm.

This may include situations where:

• you may be at risk of harming yourself

• you may be at risk of harming someone else

• a vulnerable person may be experiencing abuse or neglect

In these situations I may need to contact appropriate services in order to protect safety.

This may include:

• your GP or healthcare provider

• a therapist or mental health professional involved in your care

• local safeguarding services

• emergency services or the police

Where possible, I will always try to discuss this with you first.

Like many practitioners, I sometimes discuss my work in professional supervision or reflective practice.

This helps ensure I am offering ethical and responsible support.

In these situations:

• no identifying details are shared

• all information is anonymised

Your identity and privacy are protected.

Sometimes it may be helpful to communicate with another professional involved in your care.

This could include:

• a therapist

• a doctor

• another care provider

This would only happen with your permission, unless there is a serious safety concern.

For some programmes, retreats, or ongoing work, you may be asked to provide an emergency contact.

This contact would only be used if there were a genuine concern about your wellbeing or safety.

If you have any questions about confidentiality, you are always welcome to ask.
