Confidentiality

Information provided by you during life coaching will not be divulged to third parties except under certain conditions (see Exceptions to confidentiality).

Exceptions to confidentiality

There are circumstances in which I cannot legally or ethically maintain confidentiality. These exceptions are listed below. Wherever possible, I will make every attempt to communicate with you first explaining the reasons for the need to pass on information and to whom this will be given.

If you disclose that:

  • you are intending to harm or have harmed yourself or another person
  • you are involved in criminal activity (other than drug-money laundering or terrorism)
  • a child is being abused or at risk of abuse

Then I will discuss the matter with my supervisor (your identity will be protected) and agree a course of action.

Where you disclose anything related to drug-money laundering or terrorism, however, I have a legal obligation to report this immediately to the police.
