PRIVACY STATEMENT

CONFIDENTIALITY

The personal information you share with us will be kept securely. Some anonymised information may be shared in the context of supervision, which is an essential part of good therapeutic practice. In addition, if I have been instructed as part of a multi-disciplinary team, then information will be shared between myself and the multidisciplinary team to support an interdisciplinary rehabilitation package. If there is any information you do not wish for me to share, please inform me. Information may also be accessible by my personal assistant. 

​

Confidentiality will be broken if we have concerns that you or anyone else is at risk. If this occurs attempts will be made to discuss this with you in your session and recommendations will be made and documented in your notes.

​

As fully accredited members of the HCPC and BPS we adhere to their ethical framework and guidelines to ensure that you receive a professional and quality service.

INFORMATION WE COLLECT ABOUT YOU

Upon initial assessment, basic personal information will be collected for contact and identification reasons. During our sessions, an assessment of your neuropsychological presentation will be completed. Clinical notes will be taken during sessions, which will include personal and sensitive details.
