What data do I keep and why do I need it?
- Basic information that is set out on your intake/consent forms i.e. Name, age, this helps me get to know you.
- Address, email, phone number – I use this as a way of contacting you regarding your sessions. I will mainly use the method you first contacted me on, but if I cannot reach you, I will try a difference method.
- Doctors details – If I was worried that you were at risk then I may need to contact your doctor, if I can, I will tell you I am going to do this.
