How long we keep information

​

I store email addresses and phone numbers confidentially for the purpose of contact during the time you are in therapy. Once therapy has discontinued your details will be deleted digitally. I keep paper records for a period of 5 years in a locked file which is a requirement of my insurance. Once this period has passed all paper data will be destroyed. 

​

​

Digital data will be removed as soon as therapy has discontinued. All paper copies shall be retained for 5 years in keeping with my insurance requirements.
