If you initiate contact through the enquiry form on this site, you will be providing your name, email address and any additional information you volunteer. This enquiry will be sent to the practice outlook email account. Please note that the transmission of information via the internet can never be completely secure, therefore we cannot guarantee the security of data transmitted via this website or via email.

If you choose to continue and engage in therapy sessions, only necessary data will be recorded, in accordance with the Data Protection Act (1998) and any records will be kept strictly confidential. We have measures in place to safeguard your personal data, such as a password enabled laptop with anti-virus software, which is only accessible by each individual practitioner. Data will be held for up to seven years in accordance with the Data Protection Act (1998). After this time, any hard copies will be shredded and electronic data, i.e. emails, will be deleted.
