Confidentiality
Like all psychologists I am required to have regular clinical supervision and may take to supervision anything which we discuss in your assessment. The aim of supervision is to ensure that I provide the most effective service for you.
When required by law, which is very rare.
I may contact your GP or other professionals involved in your care if I believe that there is a risk of serious harm to yourself or others. This includes issues relating to the safeguarding of children and vulnerable adults.
