THE TORS COUNSELLING
FURTHER INFORMATION
Credentials
As a qualified BACP registered counselling/therapist I am committed to offering counselling in safe, confidential, non judgmental environment working in accordance with the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy’s ethical framework for good practice for Counsellors and Psychotherapists
As required by my professional body I have regular professional confidential clinical supervision in support of my work and practice. I hold Professional Liability Insurance and an enhanced D.B.S. Certificate.
Confidentiality
Confidentiality is an important part of the BACP Ethical Framework. All sessions are confidential and counselling conversations are not discussed outside the session or with any agency unless there is a legal requirement to disclose or there is a risk of harm to yourself or others. If you disclose information which causes me concern regarding harm to yourself or others I am ethically required to share this information. I will discuss this with you and identify next steps.
Personal Data and Session Records
A hand written paper record of the issues or themes discussed are kept by me as a record of sessions. These are retained in a confidential, secure way and will be held for up to 5 years at the end of your counselling. Your records will not be used for marketing, promotion or other related purposes. They are not shared with anyone else unless I am required to by law.
