Counselling Notes

Record keeping policy

As part of providing safe, ethical and effective psychotherapy, I maintain minimal clinical notes/records.  These are in line with Irish professional guidelines (IAHIP, PSI) and the Data Protection Acts 2018/GDPR[1][2][3] and support continuity of care, safeguarding, and professional accountability.

Quick reminder for clients & colleagues: 'Senior Psychotherapist' is not a protected title in Ireland. Psychotherapy and psychology are next up for regulation. In the meantime, always check accreditation with PSI, IAHIP, IACP, or ICP for qualified care. #MentalHealthIreland #PsychotherapyFacts Editing my Red Flag post to include this one, and will continue to edit as I see 🚩🚩🚩's on my social feeds.

Are you privately insured and do you know the details of your policy regarding psychotherapy and psychological services? Do check!As you are no doubt aware, ALL insurers have put their premiums up. And in many cases they've changed their benefits. So check the details to ensure you are still covered for psychotherapy and psychology. Some policies are better than others, and you may find more cover elsewhere!And finally some policies cover only psychologists (chartered Counselling or Clinical) but not psychotherapists. Others cover both - again - make sure if you are working with a psychotherapist. (For example - I discovered this year when renewing that my old policy had changed such that only a small amount of therapy sessions would be covered going forward. Previously, all of them had been covered up to 50%. I changed to a better policy which offers more sessions in the year. It's worth the phone call!) ... See MoreSee Less

"It underlines that survivors should never have to face sexual violence alone and that students and staff want to carry the burden with her in solidarity for all she has endured. Together, we are all stronger," Ms Morrogh added.This was not an isolated incident, which makes this all the worse. We have a serious problem with misogyny and male entitlement.

"We are blessed with a small but fabulous choice of pubs and eateries near where I live. It’s a tourist haven for six months of the year, attracting people from all around the world. It's a seriously gorgeous place.It also draws people home from all around the world, to reunite with loved ones, to have the craic, maybe an oul “dalliance” or two… maybe a bump of coke…Or maybe to throw their weight and sweaty hands around in search of female attention."(Thanks to Fusion hair design Midletonfor the headspace and wifi and Michelle for helping me choose the right pic for the dude in this story while expertly coiffing my mop!) ...
