Confidentiality
Trust is the most vital requirement for the healthy development of the therapeutic relationship. I am ethically and professionally bound to maintain your confidentiality. Everything you tell me is confidential. I pledge to respect and maintain your confidentiality to the highest degree.
There are however some circumstances where we may have to discuss breaking confidentiality. Ideally, this would not be done without your prior knowledge and agreement. Those circumstances would be:
1) If I felt that you posed serious risk of harm to yourself or others, or if I deemed you to be in immediate danger of harm.
2) When I believe that I am obligated to do so by state law i.e. The Prevention of Terrorism Act, Drug Trafficking, Human Exploitation Laws, Fraud or Money Laundering.
Supervision
In compliance with the “BACP Ethical Framework” I will attend supervision once a month for 1.5 hours. Here I will discuss client work, keeping you anonymous in order to protect your confidentiality. Supervision is ethically necessary to ensure that I am offering you the best service possible and to maintain my professional commitment and quality of good service to you within my practice.
