Additional information about my practice 

Insurance I carry full insurances to cover all aspects of my work as a Counsellor and Supervisor. This includes Professional Indemnity and Public Liability.

      Code of Ethics and Practice.  As I am a member of the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS) I adhere to the Ethical   Framework, copies of these are available on request. I am committed to providing a safe, therapeutic environment for  all my clients. 

 I am also a registered member with  The Commissioners Office (ICO)

      Confidentiality   I treat all information disclosed to me as confidential. Any information my supervisor receives is also treated as confidential and I   do not disclose client details to any third party. Should I feel a client is either a danger to themselves or to others, I do reserve the right to inform   outside agencies, but would not do so without, wherever possible, informing you the client first. There are boundaries and limits to confidentiality in   certain cases. Confidentiality may be broken if you or others are, in the opinion of the therapist appear to be  in danger or at serious risk of being   harmed.  The client infers involvement in or knowledge of an act of terrorism or of money laundering, The client infers knowledge of or involvement in   drugs trafficking The client infers knowledge of or involvement in behaviours that may, in the therapists opinion, lead to harm or neglect to children and or vulnerable adults.

     Supervision   Good therapeutic practice dictates that regular supervision should be undertaken regardless of the qualification or experience of the   practitioner. It is also an ethical and mandatory requirement of my professional body the NCPS.

 I receive regular supervision for my client work and supervision   of my supervision practice on a monthly basis which helps to ensure therapeutic standards are maintained.
