7. Use of Third-Party Systems

To provide services securely and effectively, I use GDPR-compliant third-party providers, including:

• WriteUpp – for secure storage of clinical notes
• Quenza – for delivery of therapeutic exercises, online course content, and (where applicable) structured written feedback as part of optional asynchronous clinician support

These organisations act as Data Processors and are required to protect personal information in accordance with UK GDPR.


8. Confidentiality and Safeguarding

Therapy sessions and clinical records are confidential.

However, confidentiality may be broken if:

• There are safeguarding concerns
• Disclosure is required by law or court order

Online courses are educational in nature and do not provide crisis or emergency monitoring.

Where appropriate and safe, concerns would be discussed with you first.


9. Data Retention

Clinical records are retained in line with professional and legal standards.

Online course enrolment information is retained only as long as necessary to provide course access and for reasonable business administration purposes.

When data is no longer required, it will be securely deleted or destroyed.
