My GDPR agreement sets out how I collect, store and process your personal data. I take all reasonable and necessary precautions to ensure that your data is kept secure and in accordance with GDPR regulations.

How I gather your personal information:


Where I store your data:

I use your contact details to provide you with information on my service and to notify you of any changes (admin/availability).

I take brief session notes to ensure good practice.

You are entitled to see, amend or delete the personal information that I hold.

Covid Agreement     (No longer in effect)

During the Covid pandemic, I will be following government advice on how to stay safe. Changes in that advice may result in temporary changes to my practice.

I have introduced a variety of measures to provide a safe environment:


What I require from you:



Please note - If you are considered clinically vulnerable, it is advised that you do not attend face to face sessions.

Facilities:

The facilities that I use provide a waiting area, toilets and cafe for visitors. These are regulated and maintained by them.

Symptoms:

In the event that either you or I develop symptoms, you should not attend the session in person. Where possible, the session may be changed to a remote session. In this situation, I will try and give you as much notice as possible and I ask that you do the same.

Replies may be slower during weekends and bank holidays.
