For the duration of your treatment, it is necessary for me to store some basic information about you.
I will hold your personal details (name, telephone number(s) and/or email address securely in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulations under the Data Protection Act (2018) and for the sole purpose of contacting you (whether by phone, text or email). This information will not be accessible to any third party nor will it be used without your permission other than in circumstances of risk to yourself or others in accordance with my duty of confidentiality.
It is, further, a condition of my registration with the British Psychoanalytic Council and its Code of Ethics, that sealed copies of you contact details are held securely by two Clinical Trustees. These are senior analytic colleagues nominated by me for this purpose. They are equally bound by a duty of confidentiality and the General Data Protection Regulations, 2018 and will only access this information to contact you in the event of an emergency where I am unable to do this myself.
Ethical Framework
I abide by BPC and BACP Code of Ethics which includes a Complaints Procedure, a copy which is available on request.
