Your privacy is important to me. This privacy notice explains how NH Psychotherapy handles personal information when you visit this website or contact me about counselling or psychotherapy.

Information I collect

This website does not allow visitors to create accounts, leave comments or submit information through a contact form.

If you choose to contact me by email, telephone or text message, you may provide personal information such as your name, contact details and information about why you are considering therapy.

I encourage you to only share information you feel comfortable providing at this initial stage.

How I use your information

I will only use the information you provide to:

respond to your enquiry;
answer questions about therapy or the services I offer;
arrange an initial conversation or appointment where appropriate; and
communicate with you about your appointments.

If you decide to begin therapy with me, I will provide further information about confidentiality, record keeping and how your personal information is managed as part of our therapeutic agreement.

Confidentiality

Information you share with me is treated confidentially and with respect.

There are some circumstances in which confidentiality may need to be broken, including where there is a serious concern about your safety or somebody else’s safety, or where disclosure is required by law.

The boundaries and limits of confidentiality will be discussed with you before therapy begins.

Website and cookies

This website may use cookies that are necessary for its basic operation, security and functionality.

I do not currently use this website to create visitor accounts, accept comments or collect information through contact forms.

If additional services such as website analytics, online booking or other technologies are introduced in the future, this privacy notice will be updated where necessary.

Links to other websites

This website may contain links to external websites or resources. These websites have their own privacy policies and I am not responsible for how other organisations collect or use your information.

How long I keep your information

Personal information will only be retained for as long as it is reasonably required for the purpose for which it was collected and in accordance with any professional, legal or insurance requirements that apply to my practice.

Your rights

You have rights in relation to your personal information under UK data protection law. These can include the right to request access to your information, have inaccurate information corrected and, in certain circumstances, request that information is deleted or its use restricted.

If you have any questions or concerns about how I handle your personal information, please contact me.

You also have the right to raise a concern with the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO).
