I am registered with the information commissioner's office (ICO), what information do I collect and what do I intend to do with it.

What information do keep and why do I need it.

On our first meeting, we will go through a contract where I will get you to fill

* Name,

* Address

* Email address, 

* Phone number

* Next of kin

* Doctors name and number

This information is also a way I can contact you if I have to cancel a session, but I usually contact you using the details that were used when you contacted me unless you tell me otherwise. I would only use the emergency contact if you were ill in the session. 

How long do I keep these details? 

I have to keep these details for 7 years, this is the time frame set out and maintain due to the professional body, British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP) but any emails will be deleted and your number in my phone.

Your Rights

You have the right to request to see, amend or destroy any data I may keep about you. I will respond to any such request made within 14 days.
