Privacy Policy

Who I am and why I collect information

1

I am Samantha Mair, a BABCP Accredited Cognitive Behavioural Psychotherapist and EMDR Therapist providing therapy, clinical supervision, and professional consultation services.

If you contact me through this website, by email, or by telephone, I may collect personal information such as your name, contact details, and any information you choose to share in your enquiry.

I collect this information so that I can respond to your enquiry, determine whether I am able to offer an appointment, and provide information about my services.

Please avoid including highly sensitive or detailed personal information when using the contact form or email, as these methods of communication are not fully secure.

How your information is used and stored

2

Information submitted through this website, email, or telephone is stored securely and access is restricted to me.

Your information will only be used for purposes related to your enquiry and the provision of therapy, supervision, or consultation services.

If we begin working together, further information about how your personal information is collected, stored, and used will be provided within a separate Client Privacy Notice.

Sharing information and retention

3

Your personal information will not be sold or shared with third parties for marketing purposes.

Information may be shared where required by law, professional obligations, safeguarding responsibilities, or where there is a serious concern regarding the safety of yourself or others.

If therapy does not proceed, enquiry information will generally be retained for a limited period before being securely deleted. If therapy proceeds, records will be retained in accordance with professional, legal, and insurance requirements.

Under UK GDPR, you have a number of rights regarding your personal information, including the right to:

  • Request access to your personal information

  • Request correction of inaccurate information

  • Request erasure of information in certain circumstances

  • Restrict or object to certain types of processing

  • Lodge a complaint with the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO)
