Privacy AND CONSENT Policy

Privacy

Sessions are private and confidential; the exceptions are should a situation arise that there is a risk of harm to yourself or others. The practitioner will endeavour to seek your permission first but, if action is required, may not do so.

In the event of the practitioner asking a question that the client does not wish to answer they can respond with ‘that is the wrong question’, the practitioner will respect this right to privacy.

I am committed to protecting your privacy. The practitioner will only use the information that we collect about you lawfully (in accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998 and GDPR 2018). I will not share you details with anyone including but not limited to data or marketing companies.

Consent

I will never collect sensitive information about you without your explicit consent. The personal information which we hold will be held securely in accordance with my internal security policy and the law. Records will be securely destroyed 7 years after conclusion of the contract. You have the right to a Subject Access Request. You have the right to request that your records be destroyed, and you be forgotten. You have the right to withdraw consent by requesting this directly with me.

I am not a crisis or emergency service, if you need to speak to someone immediately, please contact your medical professional or the most appropriate emergency care provider.
