Privacy and confidentiality  

For proper support, it is necessary that I, as your therapist, maintain a client file. Privacy is therefore very important to me, and I do my best to ensure it. I handle your personal information with care and ensure that unauthorized persons do not have access to your data. As your therapist, I have sole access to the data in your file. I have a legal confidentiality obligation (professional secrecy), meaning that no confidential information will be divulged to third parties without your explicit consent.

Confidentiality will only be broken without your consent in the case that you show a significant risk for self-harm or harm to others, in which case I am legally obliged to notify the necessary authorities of said risk.   The data from your file can also be used for the following purposes: To inform other healthcare providers, for example when the therapy has been completed or when referring to another practitioner. This only happens with your explicit permission. For use for observation by another therapist, during my absence or for the anonymized use during peer evaluation.  

Your contact information such as email address, phone number are used in the sole purpose of contacting you.
