 Your sessions and personal information will be kept confidential in line with the Data Protection Act and GDPR. However, there are exceptions where confidentiality may need to be breached, including:

1. Client Consent: You provide explicit consent.

2. Risk of Harm: If I believe there is a significant risk of harm to you or others, I may consult with relevant professionals. I will aim to discuss this with you first.

3. Legal Requirements: When required by law or a court order.

4. Statutory Obligations: Disclosure of activities such as terrorism, drug trafficking, or abuse of a child or vulnerable adult.


I am a registered member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) and the NCPS (National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society). I adhere to their Ethical Frameworks.


Weekly sessions are usually best to help support building on the therapeutic process. It also depends on what has brought you to counselling and the support you would like. However, I know this is not always feasible with work/ life commitments. We can discuss what would work best for you in our introduction/ first session together. 


In our sixth session together, I will invite you to let me know how you are feeling about our time together. This offers us an opportunity to review our work together, any additional support you may need, and any goals you may have in place. 


I want sessions to be as flexible as possible and work around your commitments. I have a booking section with all my available slots. You can book a session time that works for your availability. 


Please let me know if you need to change a session, and we can reschedule for the best time.
