Confidentiality:
Confidentiality is fundamentally important to ensuring that therapy works. It unsure you as a client can talk freely about things that might be very personal in nature without fear. While I take my commitment to confidentiality very importantly it is important that you know there a few situations that I must legally break confidentiality. These include:
If any child is at risk.
If you are at risk of hurting yourself (immediate threat of suicide).
If you are an immediate threat to someone else.
If I’m subpoenaed to provide my notes or to testify in court.
if I’m told about a serious major crime.
I may discuss our work in anonymously in clinical supervision without any person identifiers so as to to protect your privacy.
I use Halaxy practice management software as a system for scheduling, invoicing and keeping my electronic notes (I do not use any of their integrated billing systems.). See there privacy statement here:
