Confidentiality policy

This document describes the confidentiality measures I follow as your psychologist. My goal is to create a safe and trustworthy space for your inner work. All your personal data and everything you share during consultations is kept in line with these principles.

1. Protection of personal information

  • Your name, contact details and other personal data are not shared with third parties without your written consent.
  • All data is stored in secure systems that only I can access.

2. Session confidentiality

  • Everything discussed during our sessions remains between us.
  • Exceptions are only possible in cases provided by law (for example, a risk of harm to yourself or others, or a court request).

3. Use of information for professional purposes

  • If your case is used as an example for training or supervision, this is done only in anonymous form and with your prior consent.

4. Online consultations

  • Online sessions take place on secure platforms (for example, Zoom or Google Meet).
  • Each session has a unique access password.
  • No video or audio recordings are made without your consent.

5. Storage of notes and records

  • I keep brief session notes that I use only to support your therapeutic process.
  • These notes are stored securely and are never shared with third parties.

6. Limited contact outside sessions

  • I do not contact you without your prior consent. All our communication happens through channels we have agreed on.

7. Physical confidentiality

  • All consultations take place in a private setting where no one else can overhear our conversation.
  • Session times are scheduled so that clients do not overlap.

8. Additional protection on request

  • You may ask for additional confidentiality measures if you need them (for example, using a pseudonym or avoiding certain platforms).

9. Emergencies

  • If there is a threat to your life or health, I may contact the appropriate services or the emergency contact you provided. This happens only in critical situations.

10. Your rights

  • You have the right to access any information I store about you.
  • You can ask me to delete all your data after therapy ends.
  • You can tell me your preferences about formats and communication channels.

If you have any questions or preferences about confidentiality, please let me know before we begin working together. Thank you for your trust.
With respect, Iryna Yefremenko
