Records

Amethyst Counselling keeps a written record of your name, address, contact details, emergency contact and GP.  You have the choice of how you would like to be contacted.  These details are kept, in a locked cabinet, in the office.  Only Amethyst Counselling has access to this cabinet. These records will be kept for 5 years then securely shredded as per insurers requirements.

 

Amethyst counselling makes brief notes at the end of our sessions; these notes are anonymised with a unique client id number so you cannot be identified.  the specifics of what we discuss are NOT recorded, just the general themes of each session.  These notes are kept on a password protected computer in a password protected document that only Amethyst Counselling can access.  They will be permanently deleted 5 years after counselling has ended as per my insurer’s specifications.
