Privacy/ Confidentiality
I shall treat all communication between you and I as confidential and privileged information, unless you wish to give consent for your own purposes before information can be disclosed.
I may discuss, in supervision, information received during therapy as part of the normal management of confidentiality.
I will establish procedures to ensure the ongoing management of your confidentiality in the event of my death.
Exceptions to Confidentiality:
I shall only make exceptions to confidentiality in order to reduce risk.
When and if there is a need to pass on confidential information (hospitals, Doctors, mental health professionals), I will provide only the minimum of information necessary and only then to those people to whom it is absolutely necessary.
Other exceptions to confidentiality occur when:
There is serious danger in the immediate or foreseeable future to you or others. Your competence to make a decision is seriously impaired; I am forced by legal requirements that demand confidential material be revealed
