Social Media & Communication Policy

This policy explains how I manage communication and online boundaries as part of our therapeutic work together.

These boundaries are guided by professional ethical standards and are intended to support safe and effective therapeutic work.

Communication between sessions

Contact outside sessions is limited to practical and administrative matters only, such as arranging or changing appointments or fees.

Therapeutic work, emotional processing, or crisis support is not provided by:

I aim to respond to messages within my working hours and do not routinely monitor communication outside these times.

If something feels emotionally important, it is usually best brought into your therapy session.

To protect your privacy and the therapeutic relationship:

I do not accept friend, follower, or connection requests from current or former clients
I do not communicate with clients via private messaging on social media
I do not engage with clients in social or business contexts

I do not routinely search for or view clients’ social media profiles.

If you choose to view or follow my professional content:

You may wish to consider whether public interaction feels right for you, as this may affect anonymity.

I do not share identifiable client information online.

Any educational or reflective content shared publicly is general and does not relate to individual clients or therapy work.

Testimonials or reviews are not requested or used.

I am unable to provide crisis or emergency support via email, social media, or messaging.

If you are in immediate distress, please contact:

If you have questions, concerns, or reactions to these boundaries, you are welcome to raise them within therapy.

Exploring responses to boundaries can sometimes form a meaningful part of the work.
