What the therapist offers
What is on offer is counselling of a Person Centred nature. This means you are empowered to discover solutions to issues in a supportive environment. As a counsellor I offer you my honesty and respect while we explore issues you feel you would like to bring to counselling at the times that we have agreed.

Confidentiality
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. Seem to be in danger or at serious risk of being harmed and the therapist is required to do so by subpoena
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 vulnerable adults.

Supervision and confidentiality
I monitor my own practice by attending regular supervision for myself and am committed to my own self-development. There are times where aspects of our sessions will be taken to supervision to monitor my practice; at no time will your name or any identifiable information be mentioned and my supervisor is also committed to our contracted confidentiality. Records of sessions
I do keep notes relating to our sessions and other documents like appointments we book and this document (the counselling conπtract) on file. If you would like to see my notes, or if you have been referred by an agency that requires update reports, then let me know and I will gladly providing the notes.
The client will always be consulted before a recording is made and the client has the right to refuse that the session be recorded. A client may ask for a video recording of the session but this has to be agreed by both parties.
