Confidentiality, Ethics and Data Protection

The only data I will hold will be your name and email address which will be used to provide coaching services

I will only store your address if I need to visit you at home. It will be deleted 3 months following our last contact

All other data, including journal entries, personal financial details and content of consultations will be held by yourself

I will not record Teams, Zoom or FaceTime meetings, but you have my permission if you wish to record them

I may make hand written notes as an aide memoire during the sessions. Personal data will not be attached to these and they will be destroyed at the end of your course or session

Materials to be used during the sessions will consist of your own journal entries and written responses to exercises. There is no reason for me to store this personal client information and so I will not collect it in the first place

Under statutory legislation applying to professional home workers, I am required to notify the authorities if anything comes to light during the sessions which presents an immediate safeguarding risk to yourself or others. Outside of that, all other information and your dealings with me will be treated in the strictest confidence

I am not a trained solicitor, psychologist, therapist, health professional or wealth management consultant. If I feel you may benefit from other input I will recommend you seek further advice, but I will never refer to anyone else without your knowledge or consent. I do not promote or sell financial products

I am registered with the ICO to process personal data (as required under GDPR)
