The Counselling space is a completely confidential environment, information shared will not be repeated, discussed or misused outside the session

​

The only exception is if I strongly felt there was a serious risk of harm either to yourself or another. In this instance I would discuss with you how to keep with you or another person safe. 

​

I follow the NCS Code of Ethics gives the following guidance to all registrants about client confidentiality:

'Confidentiality, Maintenance of Records and Recording of Sessions'

All Practitioners undertake to:

Maintain strict confidentiality within the client/counsellor relationship, always provided that such confidentiality is neither inconsistent with the therapist’s own safety or the safety of the client, the client’s family members or other members of the public nor in contravention of any legal action (i.e. criminal, coroner or civil court cases where a court order is made demanding disclosure) or legal requirement (e.g. Children’s Acts).”

In this document we give further details about:

1. Confidentiality within the client therapist relationship

2. The Law

3. The rights of the client

4. The duties of the therapist – exceptions to confidentiality
