Confidentiality

As part of providing psychological services at Clarity, your psychologist will need to collect and record personal information from you that is relevant to your current situation. This information is gathered as part of your assessment, diagnosis, and treatment and is kept highly confidential. The information is retained in order to document what happens during sessions, and enables our psychologists to provide a relevant and informed clinical service.

All personal information gathered by our psychologists will remain confidential and secure except when:

  • It is subpoenaed by a court, or
  • Failure to disclose information would place you or another person at risk, or
  • Your prior approval has been obtained to:
    • Provide a written report to another professional agency e.g. a General Practitioner or a lawyer, or
    • Discuss the material with another person, e.g., a parent or employer.
