.I’m a Registered Member of the British Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists (BACP) (Register number 180279) and as part of the contract of membership I agree to adhere to the BACP Ethical Framework. Click here to dowload a PDF of the full version.

It is my responsibility as a member of the public, and as a professional when I work as a counsellor to report concerns I have for the safety or wellbeing of yourself or your child(ren). If I believe there is a significant risk to yourself or another adult or child then it may be necessary for me to break confidentiality. I will assess any potential risk with you in the first place, and if necessary and appropriate another member of your family, for
example your partner. If I feel that you require additional support then I will consult with my own clinical supervisor, and if necessary a professional such as your Health Visitor, GP or a Social Work Team. I will assess each concern on its own merits, and I will keep you informed throughout the process where I can.

To keep you and your child(ren) well supported I may signpost you to other organisations who may be better equipped to help you.

Before we start sessions together we will agree to a contract. This ensures that we are both clear from the beginning and helps promote a good working relationship. The contract will set out what I will offer to you as a Counsellor in terms of times, number of sessions, location (currently all online), the types of therapy I use, the limits to my confidentiality, how we may contact each other between sessions.

The contract will also include agreed fees, methods of payment and a cancellation policy.

Please see contract template for further information. This will be personalised during our free consultation.
