Our ethics
As practitioners we are both chartered members of the British Psychological Society and registered with the Health Professions Council.
Chartered psychologists must abide by a strict code of ethical and professional guidelines. These include issues relating to therapeutic boundaries and maintaining knowledge and confidentiality.
Information you provide us with will be treated with the utmost confidentiality and this will be discussed and clarified in our first consultation.
We have completed a three year doctorate training in Psychotherapeutic & Counselling Psychology. As chartered psychologists we are bound by the strict code of ethical and professional guidelines that include issues relating to therapeutic boundaries, maintaining knowledge and continued professional development and confidentiality.
On our initial contact issues of confidentiality are discussed and agreed and questions that you may have are answered.
