How MindWorksUK Process/Share your Personal Information

Consultation

MindWorks seek a monthly consultation with another therapist qualified in this process. The consultation process is for my practice (rather than seeking instruction on working with you). In order to protect your privacy, my consultant will not know you personally nor professionally. I will refer to you by your first name, and I may refer to you information verbally when it’s helpful to my professional processes

Emergencies

If your health is in jeopardy (provided I have your consent) I may share your contact information with an emergency healthcare service (e.g. Mental Health Crisis Team). If I have become aware of your intent to cause harm to another person/organisation (e.g. terrorism), the law may require that I inform an authority without seeking your permission. In such a situation, the law may require that I share your personal information without your knowledge (known as: whistle-blowing).

Erasing Your Information

When we have finished working together, I will hold on to the electronic and  written information for up to seven years past the end of our working together. This is so that I have a reference of our work in situations such as you returning to counselling in the future. After this time has passed, I will shred the written information.

GDPR

Your Rights

You have the following rights…

  • To be informed what information I hold (i.e. this document)
  • To see the information I hold about you (free of charge for the initial request)
  • To rectify any inaccurate or incomplete personal information
  • To withdraw consent to me using your personal information
  • To request your personal information be erased (though I can decline whilst the information is needed for me to practice lawfully & competently)

Testimonials

"Since I have been attending the support group, I feel good and find myself looking forward to the sessions weekly. Sometimes you can feel very isolated not knowing who to talk to. When you work with the group you realise you are not the only one who is facing hardships"
