Confidentiality &
Privacy Policy
The law protects the
relationship between a client and a psychotherapist, and information cannot be
disclosed without written permission.
Exceptions include:
- Suspected child abuse or dependant adult or elder
abuse, for which I am required by law to report this to the appropriate
authorities immediately.
- If a client is threatening serious bodily harm to
another person/s, I must notify the police and inform the intended victim.
- If a client intends to harm himself or herself, I will
make every effort to enlist their cooperation in insuring their safety. If
they do not cooperate, I will take further measures without their
permission that are provided to me by law in order to ensure their safety.
