The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is concerned with the personal information about you that I collect, store and share. This page details my GDPR policy.

Personal Information I will Collect

Also, your GP name and Surgery address and contact details, and medical conditions relevant to counselling sessions and medications prescribed.
Other details which may be recorded at assessment could include, occupation, relationships, gender (or preferred identity), counselling history and summaries of our sessions. 
None of this information is used in research or shared with third parties with the exception of the limits of confidentiality as detailed in the Counselling Agreement.

How I store your personal information
Primarily all information is stored as a hard copy in a client folder which is stored in a locked filing cabinet.

Any word documents i.e. invoices, receipts or letters required by clients will be encrypted with individual passwords.
I am required by my insurers and supervisor to keep details of our work for seven years after our work is finished. 
Your folder will be stored in a locked cabinet during this time and then shredded and destroyed.
