Confidentiality
             I guarantee and respect your right to confidentiality. Counselling is an intensely personal pursuit, and you
             ought to expect that any therapist you consult, would hold what you tell them in strictest confidence.
             As in all therapy though, there are times when confidentiality is NOT an absolute.
             If you disclose to a therapist that you intend to harm yourself or someone else, they are legally bound
             to discuss the necessity to alert a third party in order to protect your safety.
             In my professional career I have never had to exercise this, and would NOT do so without first discussing this with you.

         Referrals
             Referrals from doctors or GPs are NOT required at any time in order to access this counselling service.
             If you wish I can make contact with your doctor in order to facilitate a team approach to your wellbeing.
             This would be your choice.
