Confidentiality breaches refer to unauthorised access, use or disclosure of confidential information. Such infringement may compromise the security or integrity of a client.

The National College of Hypnosis and Psychotherapy (NCHP) and the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (UKCP) consider testimonials unethical.
I choose not to publish clients’ testimonials on my website.
