Confidentiality & Privacy Policy

The law protects the relationship between a client and a psychotherapist, and information cannot be disclosed without written permission.

Exceptions include:

• Suspected child abuse or dependent adult or elder abuse, for which I am required by law to report this to the appropriate authorities immediately.

• If a client is threatening serious bodily harm to another person/s, I must notify the police and inform the intended victim.

• If a client intends to harm himself or herself, I will make every effort to enlist their cooperation in ensuring their safety. If they do not cooperate, I will take further measures without their permission that are provided to me by law in order to ensure their safety.

Missed or late appointments:

• Your appointment time is reserved for you.  48 hour notice is required to cancel or reschedule your appointment. A cancellation fee of 50% payment for the missed appointment will be applied to your account without 48 hours of notice or if you fail to show up for your appointment without prior notice.

• Should you arrive late to your appointment, your session will still end at the scheduled time.
