Visit Me
I would like you to feel as comfortable as possible, to that end, I am able to offer sessions in the comfort and safety of my private consultation room in Silloth, Cumbria.
On-Line or By phone
I also offer consultations by phone or video call, so I can help you no matter where in the world you are.
Confidentiality
The contents of our sessions are confidential between you and I. There are however, for both of our best interests, a few caveats to this rule.
I am required to discuss my work with a supervisor to ensure I am doing my best for both my client and myself (your identity will not be disclosed to the supervisor).
I do keep very brief notes which are kept securely under lock and key (this is required by my insurance providers). They will not be disclosed without your consent unless requested by a court order.
I am required to breach confidentiality if I feel you are at risk of seriously harming yourself or others, or if I find out you are involved in terrorism or drug smuggling.
Boundaries
The counselling room is a safe place where I hope you feel able to express whatever emotions you need without cause for any concern. The only thing which is not welcome is abuse directed towards me as your counsellor. If this should occur I will stop the session pending a review of whether or not we will be able to work together going forward.
