The Quick Version

  • I collect only what I need to provide my services (your name, email, payment details, and brief session notes).
  • Sessions are not recorded.
  • Your information is stored securely and kept only as long as necessary.
  • I use trusted third parties (such as my booking platform, payment processor, and email platform), but I do not share your data with anyone else without your permission, unless required by law.
  • You can ask me to access, correct, or delete your information at any time.

If you want the full details, keep reading.

Each of these providers has their own privacy policies, which you can review on their websites.

  • Session notes are stored securely on a password-protected device and/or secure cloud storage.
  • Physical notes (if any) are destroyed after being digitised.

Cookies and Tracking

My website uses cookies and similar technologies to help it work properly and to understand how people use it. You can turn off cookies in your browser settings, but some parts of the site may not work as well without them.

  • Ask me to stop sending you marketing emails
  • Restrict or object to how I use your data

Security

I take your privacy seriously and use reasonable security measures to protect your information. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, so I cannot guarantee absolute security.
