Privacy Policy

All client details are kept confidential and are not shared, sold, passed onto others, or given away, except where I need to for referral reasons (which will only ever be done with written client permission) or where I have to by law.

You can view your confidential information at any time; all you need to do is ask.

Sanctuary Counselling and Consultancy requires your information in order to be able to contact you.

Any notes taken during a session are also kept confidential and are the property of Sanctuary Counselling and Consultancy. The only reason these notes would be “shared” with anyone is if they were specifically wanted in a court of law!

If a client wishes to disclose to friends or family what happens in session, then that is their business. Sanctuary Counselling and Consultancy employees are under confidentiality and cannot discuss client’s details.

Not everything in a session can be kept confidential. If a client states that they have been or are being harmed by another person, or if a client states that they wish to harm themselves or another person – then by law, under these circumstances the police or other official persons will need to be contacted. These circumstances include suicide ideation and all forms of abuse and maltreatment.
