Notes are kept for up to seven years after which time they are securely destroyed. You have the right to see the notes I keep during our work together. All notes are handwritten and no electronic notes are kept (exception if your therapy is via a health insurance company). Emails and Texts are used for answering equiries , scheduling and rescheduling of appointments.
I am registered with the Information Commissioners Office which is the UK's independent authority set up to uphold information rights in the public interest, promoting openness by public bodies and data privacy for individuals
