Confidentiality
One of the key elements of successful therapy is the assurance of knowing that what you share with your therapist will be confidential. It can be very freeing to share your deepest concerns and struggles with someone who is not part of your usual social group who is skilled at listening without judging or offering biased advice.
Your privacy is important to me. As a fully registered Clinical Psychologist, I follow strict guidelines for professional conduct and confidentiality. Essentially, information disclosed by you will remain confidential unless you have given me permission to release it. The only exceptions (where no professional can offer confidentiality) are when I am ordered by the court to release your information or where you constitute a serious threat to yourself or others. In addition, it is usual practice for a psychologist to write back to any referring party such as a GP. No referral is required if you are not seeking or eligible for a Medicare rebate.
Further information about confidentiality is outlined for you in detail on a consent form given to you at your first session.
