I’m a Registered Senior Accredited member of the NCPS (National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society) and I’m guided and work by their code of ethics.

The Code of Ethics is a guidance document that focuses on core ethical principles and standards that NCPS registered counsellors should aspire to in order to practise safely and ethically, in the best interests of clients, their wellbeing, and the profession.

Confidentiality

I may share any information you have given to me if I consider that you are at risk of imminent serious harm, another person has been harmed or may be at risk of harm, or I suspect that serious criminal offences have taken, or may be taking place, such as acts of terrorism and drug money laundering.

Data Protection

I am registered with the ICO (Information Commissioner’s Office) and manage all of my practice in compliance with General Data Protection Regulations (2018).

Insurance

I maintain Professional Liability Insurance with Holistic Insurance Services.

 

Therapy Space

I recognise that it can be quite nerve-wracking considering and even attending counselling, particularly for the first time. I have therefore created a therapy space with privacy in mind, and which my clients say they feel safe and comfortable entering and working within, with a cosy and warm feel.

I hope this short video helps alleviate any anxieties you may have about taking the first steps to considering and starting counselling with me.
