Privacy Notice for Jo Turley
This Privacy Notice was last reviewed in January 2023.
I may request personal data such as name, date of birth, phone number, address and email address for the purposes of making and maintaining contact with you.
I will also ask for details of your GP practice in case of medical emergency, or threat to your vital interests.
Throughout therapy, sensitive personal information may be disclosed by you, and this may form part of your clinical notes documenting our sessions together.
Everything you say is kept strictly confidential. Your data is NOT shared with anyone, apart from in the following exceptional circumstances:
If it is necessary to protect your vital interests (threat of harm to self) or the vital interests of others (threat of harm to others)
If it is necessary in relation to legal proceedings
If it is necessary for administering justice
If it is necessary for medical purposes and is undertaken by a health professional or someone who is subject to an equivalent duty of confidentiality
As a requirement of my profession, I discuss my client work with my supervisor to ensure that I am working safely and effectively. My supervisor is bound by the same ethical and legal frameworks as me and any discussion remains anonymous.
All data will be stored securely during our time together and for 6 years following the conclusion of therapy. It will then be destroyed in a secure and appropriate manner.
In the unlikely event of a breach, I will notify parties (and the Information Commissioners’ Office) within 72 hours.
I ask that you do not share my information on any social media platforms, and I shall reciprocate and will not share any information about you on any social media platforms.
By entering into a therapeutic relationship with me you consent to me keeping your data in accordance with the above.
If you wish to have access to your data or withdraw your consent at any time, please email me at:
If you have any concerns about how your data has been handled, please contact the Information Commissioners’ Office via www.ico.org.uk/concerns
