Professional Disclaimer
At The Counselling Couch, I am committed to offering a safe, confidential, and professional service. This page outlines the scope of my practice, my qualifications, and important disclaimers about the counselling services I provide.
Scope of Service
- Counselling and therapy sessions are intended to provide emotional support, personal growth, and tools for navigating challenges in relationships, work, and life.
- Sessions do not replace medical diagnosis, treatment, or psychiatric care. If you are experiencing a medical emergency or crisis, please contact your GP, emergency services (999 in the UK), or an appropriate crisis helpline.
- Counselling is a collaborative process. While many people experience significant improvements, outcomes cannot be guaranteed and may vary from person to person.
Confidentiality
- Everything you share in session is treated with respect and confidentiality.
- Exceptions to confidentiality occur only where there is a legal or ethical duty to act — such as risk of harm to yourself or others, safeguarding concerns, or legal requirements.
Professional Standards
- I am a qualified Counsellor/Psychotherapist with extensive experience working with individuals and couples.
- I adhere to the ethical guidelines of relevant professional bodies including BACP and UKCP.
- I undertake regular supervision and ongoing professional development to ensure high standards of practice.
