CCTV on Clinic Premises
There is CCTV operating on Angela's clinic premises - outside the clinic and not inside. This is for security purposes only and the prevention of crime. The data is held in the "Cloud" for 5 days then erased. Will Angela share your personal information? Angela does not sell, loan, rent or share personal data with any third parties. Your contact details and personal information will never be shared with outside parties apart from the following exemptions: Clinical Supervision As a Member of the BACP (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy) Angela complies with the requirement to attend regular (monthly) supervision with a qualified psychotherapy supervisor. Aspects of some client cases may be discussed but under no circumstances will your full name, contact details or any other identifying information or detail be shared or revealed to her supervisor. Therapeutic Will Angela has a "Therapeutic Will". This means, in the event of death, illness or hospitalisation, she has appointed an Executor to make contact with current clients to inform them of the situation and advise as to the options. This Executor has no prior access to client contact detail. In the case of death, the appointed Executor has instructions to personally burn or shred all written client notes and delete from Angela's personal computer all client contact details.

Angela will, in the first instance, discuss this with you to seek your permission. However, in rare circumstances, such as terrorism, Angela will do so without your permission. Angela is required by Law to pass on information relating to acts of terrorism and ongoing abuse of children or the vulnerable. Client rights As a client, you have the right to:
