I don’t use an e-mail encryption programme, so any emails we send to each other may be vulnerable to viruses or human error, and please remember that all emails are retained in the logs of Internet Service Providers. This means it’s a good idea to be thoughtful about what you include in emails to me, and it may be best to rely on email for non-confidential communications, like arranging appointment times.
Social Media
I have LinkedIn and Instagram accounts. I prefer that our relationship remain as much as possible between us in the consultation room, so I won’t follow you, but you are of course, free to follow me. Please don’t use these platforms to message me – text, email or WhatsApp is best to let me know if you are running late or cancelling a session.
I prefer to learn as much about you from our meetings, so I won’t Google you after you make contact. I realise that it’s likely that you will have Googled me before you contacted me – if in your search you find something out that you have questions about, please do bring them to a session so we can discuss it.
Messaging
If you are running late or need to tell me something practical, please feel free to text or WhatsApp me or email. If you need to talk about something substantive, I will suggest we meet to discuss further rather than have a conversation via message.
