Laws in the European Union about protecting your personal information changed on 25 May 2018. It is called GDPR and stands for General Data Protection Regulation.
Counselling Therapy operates from the
United Kingdom.
With Brexit, the United Kingdom is economically no longer part of the EU.
From 1 January 2021 there are practically no or little changes.
The EU GDPR is incorporated into UK Data Protection Law as the UK GDPR.
What does that mean for you?
I want to ensure that you understand what I
collect and how I use the information I hold about you.
If you contact Counselling Therapy for more
information about the services I deliver, you will receive an email to consent
to email updates about Wellbeing Workshops and Courses.
You can, at any time, opt out by sending an email to shirley.amatsakio@proton.me, and I will make sure you
will be taken off the mailing list and confirm this by email to you.
If you have had (a) therapy session(s),
and/or have attended courses or workshops, I destroy your records after 6
years.
The personal information you share like your name, address, phone number(s),
and email address(es) will not be shared, sold, or transferred without your
personal consent.
I am a member of the professional bodies the BACP (the British Association for
Counselling & Psychotherapy), CMA (the Complementary Medical
Association) and abide to their Ethical Framework and their Code of Ethics which means that information you provide about yourself is
kept to myself (confidential), unless I am by law enforced to share your
details. More information will be given in our assessment session.
