Confidentiality
Agreement

All communications with me and all records relating to my provision of psychological services to you are confidential and may not be disclosed without your written consent. In marital/couple counselling confidentiality is held jointly. In the event that sharing information would represent a clear risk of harm to either partner or unnecessary or unwarranted damage to the relationship, this joint confidentiality would require revisiting. I destroy written therapy records via shredding services and delete all electronic records after holding them for 7 years.

 

Professional ethics place certain limits on confidentiality:

 

*If you present an imminent danger to yourself or others the law requires me to take steps to prevent such harm;

*If a child is in need of protection I must file a report with the Provincial Ministry responsible for child protection;

*If a vulnerable or elderly adult is abused or neglected I must file a report with the Provincial Ministry of Health;

*If a Court orders the disclosure of records I must do so.
