About Psychotherapy
Confidentiality
Your sessions are strictly confidential, and we are bound by the code of ethics of the British Psychoanalytic Council and The Health and Care Professions Council.
In matters of risk, where it is clear that harm may come to you or to others, we will need to talk to you about taking steps to ensure safety, which may involve communicating with other professionals who can help with this. You will always know beforehand if any action of this kind is taken.
Occasionally, we may present our cases for supervision to other qualified psychotherapists in order that we can continue to learn and develop our practice. The same rules of confidentiality apply to them, and in addition anything that relates to your identity is removed from any presentation or discussion of our work in these circumstances.
