Confidentiality & Records
Confidentiality is an important part of psychotherapy. Information shared during therapy will be kept confidential except where disclosure is required or permitted by law, professional standards, or ethical obligations, including situations involving serious risk of harm, child protection concerns, or court orders.
Client records are maintained in accordance with applicable professional, legal, ethical, and regulatory requirements.
Relationship Assessment Services
Relationship assessments are intended to support self-understanding, treatment planning, and relational insight.
Assessment findings are interpretive rather than diagnostic or predictive. Results are based on information provided by participants and should not be understood as guarantees of compatibility, relationship outcomes, or future behaviour.
Clients remain responsible for personal and relationship decisions.
Electronic Communication
Email and other electronic communications are intended primarily for administrative and scheduling purposes. Electronic communications are not monitored continuously and should not be used for emergencies, urgent matters, or clinical crises.
Couples Therapy
Couples therapy is conducted with the relationship as the primary focus of treatment. Individual meetings may be incorporated when clinically appropriate.
Information disclosed during individual meetings will generally remain confidential. However, where information materially compromises the integrity of the therapeutic process, treatment goals, or informed decision-making within the relationship, disclosure, referral, suspension, or modification of couples therapy may be required.
Emergency & Crisis Services
This practice does not provide emergency, crisis, or after-hours services. If you are experiencing an emergency, are at risk of harming yourself or others, or require immediate assistance, contact 911, your local emergency services, or an appropriate crisis resource in your area.
