Confidentiality

I offer private and confidential help to my clients. Being a member of the BACP, I adhere to their code of ethics. I will not normally give your name or any information from or about you to anyone other than my supervisor unless we have reason to believe that someone, especially a child, is at risk of serious harm. The other situation that I will consider breaking confidentiality would be if I were under legal obligation to do so (e.g. under the Terrorism Act 2000)

Violence and abuse is an issue for many people who come to me for help with their relationship. I know from my experience that in this situation, working with both partners together may not be safe. If this is so, I would help each partner to get individual specialist support from either myself or another agency.  

Terms and Conditions

Each session is for 50 minutes, and will start and end on time.

Lateness will mean a shorter session, unfortunately.

Prepayment scheme: Two payments will be collected on the first session, one payment made in advance and no payment on the final session.

All booked/agreed sessions must be paid for; this includes missed or cancelled sessions.

Appointment that are not kept (no matter what the reason) or cancelled within 48 hours will be chargeable in full.

If a session is missed and I am not notified, the future availability of the slot cannot be guaranteed.

If you are unable to keep your appointment, having given me more than 48 hours notice, I am happy to offer an alternative appointment during that same week where I can.

If a session is missed and I am not notified, the future availability of the slot cannot be guaranteed.
