I am committed to protect your privacy as a visitor to my website
By providing me with your personal information, you are giving me consent to process your personal data in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR). Any information you provide me with will be processed in strictest confidence. I am a member of the ICO (Information Commissioner's Office) https://ico.org.uk/
Personal information I will request during our first meeting:
· Full name
- Date of birth
· Relevant medical information and basic family/mental health history
· Mobile number / email address
I will store your personal information in a locked cabinet/password protected laptop. At the end of our work together I will retain your name and address for three years. All other personal information will be deleted.
Website: None of your personal information is stored on the website, other than to collect & send it to the e-mail account for the purposes of our initial contact.
To optimize performance this website may use Google analytics.
This website uses Cookies. A Cookie is a small text file that stores on your computer when you are browsing a web-page to collect information regarding your preferences and tailors the website experience to you. Cookies do not collect any personal information.
Notes: I will keep brief session notes in a notebook. All information will be confidential. I do not share my notes with anyone and I keep them for three years, after our work together has ended. At the end of this period I will shred them.
Supervision: I may talk about some of our sessions with my supervisor, keeping your personal data confidential and using your first name or initials only.
Communications: Your e-mail address and correspondence will be stored in the email account, by nature of you contacting me. Your telephone number will be stored in my smartphone. In order to maintain confidentiality I recommend that after we have begun working together, electronic communications, such as e-mails & SMS are only used for the purposes of arranging appointments. At the end of our work together, I will delete any e-mails and texts we have exchanged. In the unlikely event that I feel you present a serious risk of harm to yourself or someone else, I may need to disclose this information. I will always endeavour to discuss this with you first before doing so.
Therapeutic Will: In the event of severe illness or death, I have an allocated trusted person who will contact you to let you know. They will only have access to your contact details for this purpose alone and once you have acknowledged receipt of the news, will dispose of all contact details and information.
Should you have any questions regarding this policy, please do not hesitate to contact me. (Emma Alban. June 2024)
