Social Media Policy

This policy states how I operate professionally and ethically on social media sites.

I use my business accounts on social media for professional purposes only. I currently have business pages on Facebook, Instagram and TikTok.

You are most welcome to follow me and engage with my posts, but I will not engage in any kind of therapeutic counselling via social media accounts. I may respond to comments from time to time, but these responses will not be counselling.

The information on my social media is for general purposes and not tailored to meet any individual needs and is not a replacement for therapy.

Please be aware that if you engage with my posts in any way, this will be in the public domain and your profile name and photo will be visible. 

If you are engaged in counselling with me, this may compromise your confidentiality and potentially impact our therapeutic relationship.

I do not accept friend requests on any personal pages on social media. 

I reserve the right to report any interactions which are of an inappropriate nature or disclose criminal activity.

I do not offer a crisis service and I encourage you to contact your GP or healthcare provider if you are in crisis. You can also contact The Samaritans, Tel: 116 123, telephone 111 or go to your nearest hospital emergency department (A&E)  

I am not a medical professional and I am not qualified to diagnose, so please consult with your GP or healthcare provider for any diagnosis or medication treatment. If you are ever concerned about your physical or mental health, I encourage you to seek an appointment with your GP or healthcare provider.
