Confidentiality is an essential part of psychological treatment. At The Psych Practice we hold all records securely and will ensure confidentiality in the treatment of any information held about its clients. All information recorded and held is solely for the purpose of maintaining effective therapeutic treatment. Please see our privacy policy for a more detailed account.

All information will be kept confidential unless, you and your named psychologist agree to discuss something with a third party. Where appropriate a consent form will be used. The only reasons for breaking confidentiality would be:

  • If your treating psychologists felt your life was at risk;
  • Another person’s life was at risk or
  • If the psychologist was liable to civil or criminal court proceedings if the information was not disclosed. If at all possible this would be discussed beforehand.
