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.

Late Arrivals and Cancellation policy

Please call as soon as possible if you need to cancel your appointment. You are responsible for the cost of the session which is not covered by insurance for cancellations received less than 24 hours before your scheduled appointment.

If you fail to attend two consecutively scheduled sessions without notifying me, I will assume that you wish to terminate services and will terminate services accordingly. Two consecutively cancelled sessions without prior notice may result in a loss of an established appointment time.

Late Arrivals:

Should you arrive more than 15 minutes late for your scheduled appointment you will be unable to be seen and your appointment must be rescheduled in order to avoid any late cancellation/missed session fees.
