Confidentiality

I would like to inform you everything you say to me is confidential. However, there are limits to the confidentiality agreement. Here they are: 

​

• If you were considered to be a danger to yourself or anyone else your GP or NOK may be contacted.

• If there is a concern for the safety of any child, as set out in the Children First Guidelines 2011 and the Children’s First Act 2015 

• If there are child protection concerns, we would be legally and morally obliged to report it to the relevant services. If this were to occur, I would inform you of my intentions to do so. 

• If you were to disclose any information regarding an experience or knowledge of past sexual abuse where there is an immediate concern for the welfare of a child, I am legally obliged to make a report to the Child and Family Services HSE. 

• If you were not to attend a session, your NOK that you gave me would be contacted if I failed to get you. 

Please Note: All Psychotherapists/Counsellors are required to work under supervision and to keep short notes as a memory aid and if anything came up in court. If you were discussed in supervision your identity would not be revealed and a pseudonym would be adopted.
