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.
