It is necessary for me to do this to enable me to run my therapeutic practice and to provide a safe, ethical service to you. This is done upon the lawful basis of “Legitimate Interests” for the purposes of health and social care.

​

All information that I collect and store about you is either anonymised, stored behind lock and key and/or password protected. I may keep this information for up to 7 years following the date of our last session, as per Insurer’s Terms and Conditions, at which point it will be securely deleted.

​

You have the right to view this information, which will be provided within one month of request, and to ask for changes to be made.

​

I may use this information to track the progress of our work together or in discussion with my supervisor, for reflection and guidance in a way that respects and protects your anonymity.

You have the right to object to me holding and processing information about you, although I may need to retain certain information for legal purposes (e.g. to comply with our Insurer’s Terms and Conditions).
