*We will have our first session, this will be a getting to know you session where we will go through the working agreement together it explains the limits of confidentiality. (More detail below)

*We will then go through an assessment form together to get an idea of what has bought you to counselling, I will take some personal information including GP and other data, please be assured this is all held in accordance with ICO policies. 

*At the end of the first session we will have an idea if we are a good fit and if so the next session will be booked from there, sessions are usually weekly to begin with although they can also be fortnightly in some circumstances.

Confidentiality-

What you tell me in sessions is confidential, however there are some exceptions to this.

Confidentiality will have to be broken if I feel there is risk to you or someone else.

If you make me aware you are drug trafficking, money laundering or are going to commit an act of terrorism.

If I am legally bound by a court of law.

 

I also have regular supervision, when clients are taken to supervision they are anonymised.
