To support the wellbeing of people who access Talking Therapies, it is important that we share some information with others who may be involved in your care and wellbeing.

• Talking Therapies will inform your GP that you are receiving support from our service.
• We will update your GP with your attendance and a brief summary of the outcome of your assessment or therapies with us.
• Occasionally, we may also liaise with other mental health services or agencies such as our safeguarding team to ensure you and others around you are safe and supported.
• Like any medical appointment, we will keep records of your attendance and include a summary of your progress. We will also look at the details in your completed pre-session questionnaire.  

At the start of your assessment, the practitioner will advise you of our confidentiality statement and you are welcome to ask any questions about this.

Talking Therapies does not routinely share information with third parties such as family members, workplaces or other agencies unless we have your consent to do so. An exemption to this is young people under the age of 18, where we may need to share some information with a parent or guardian should we feel additional support around your safety and wellbeing is necessary. For more information, click here.
