All records are stored securely. The information provided by you or obtained from other parties (e.g. General Practitioners, Allied Health etc.) is regarded as confidential and cannot be released unless a release of confidential information has been signed.

 

Everything you share with me and discuss in our sessions will be treated as highly confidential.

 

While there are a few circumstances in which I may be required to break confidentiality (see below), we would generally discuss this before deciding how best to proceed:

 

• If I have strong grounds for believing that serious harm may occur to you or anyone else

• If your records have been subpoenaed (requested) by a court of law

• If another party or agency has requested your information, and you have agreed and provided me with your written consent to this

• If there is evidence of child abuse, neglect, or sexual abuse of a person under the age of 16 at the time of the appointment.
