Good practice
We work under the ethical guidelines of the BACP and follow our confidentiality
policy and regular supervision of the therapist’s practice all act as
quality assurance for the service you receive.
It is also important that you choose e-mail therapy as the right approach
for you
Email therapy is generally considered effective for many problems such
as:
- Addictions
- Anxiety
- Mild depression hu
- Obsessive-compulsive problems
- Psychosexual problems
- Relationship difficulties
- Some post-traumatic stress reactions
It may be effective for a range of other as-yet un-researched
problems such as chronic fatigue, coping with disability, gay issues and
life transitions.
This mode of therapy is not suitable for you if you have serious mental
health problems, are feeling suicidal or self-harming or are physically
aggressive to other people. These problems require a team of trained workers
with face to face presence and availability. You should seek advice from
your General Practitioner or family physician.
We follow a strict confidentiality policy and work within the ethical
guidelines of the BACP. Anything you e-mail will be confidential to our
sessions. Information held on computers or hard copy is protected by the
Data Protection Act. There are exceptions to confidentiality which are
as follows:
- If abuse against children is indicated.
- If you give information which is judged to indicate risk to yourself
or another person.
- If you tell us that you have committed a serious crime.
- If any of these circumstances occur you will be asked to agree to
disclosure of the information to the relevant authorities in your
country. If you do not agree, the decision to disclose anyway may
be taken, in the public interest. You will always be informed should
we need to make this decision.
