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.
