Any personal information you provide (e.g., during registration, initial consultation and therapy sessions) is stored securely and where possibly, confidentially.  Personal details such as your name, address and phone number are kept separately from session notes which are  anonymised and only identified by a code.  Personal information is kept and used in a safe and ethical manner in line with GDPR, IOC, BACP and insurance guidelines and requirements, and is not shared with others without your consent unless a legal obligation is issued.  You have the right to ask for a copy of your personal information and to ask me to amend any incorrect information, or to instruct me to erase any personal information that is no longer relevant to original purposes, or if you wish to withdraw consent.  In all cases and when considering such requests, these rights are obligatory unless it is information that I have a legal obligation to retain.  All records and personal information held are disposed of in a manner which ensures confidentiality.  More detailed information is provided in the Counselling Agreement forwarded to you following your initial consultation.
