Confidentiality

01Core principle

Everything said in a session stays between us. This isn't a courtesy — it's the ethical and legal foundation of therapeutic work. Sessions are not recorded.

02Session notes

After each session I keep brief professional notes — they help maintain continuity. The notes are stored separately from your contact details, encrypted, accessible only to me. No one else — colleagues, family, insurance — sees them.

03Statutory exceptions

Confidentiality has three limits, set by Lithuanian law and the LGTA ethics code:

• Real risk to your life or someone else's (GDPR Art. 9(2)(c) — vital interests)
• Suspected abuse of a child or other vulnerable person
• A court order requiring disclosure

We discuss these exceptions clearly in the first session, before starting work.

04Peer consultation (supervision)

I regularly consult with an experienced supervisor — required for certified practitioners. Supervision discusses process and my work, not the details of your identity. The supervisor is bound by the same confidentiality requirements of the ethics code.

05Storage and deletion

Session notes are kept for 5 years after the last session under the LGTA ethics code, then destroyed. Contact data (name, email) is processed per the privacy policy.
