    Privacy Policy

    I regard your privacy as extremely important, as a future, existing or past client.  Confidentiality is a key principle of the business.

    COLLECTING PERSONAL DATA

    In order to deliver my services and to carry out necessary business functions, I may collect certain personal data from you in a variety of ways, such as, through the website, via email, text, or verbally. These details may include (where applicable), names, contact and details. Personal data we obtain is collected in a few key ways:

    –       Data disclosed by the individual

    –       Data disclosed by an authorised third party (i.e. employer) on the individual’s behalf

    –       Data generated through user interaction with systems/services (for example completion of online profiling tools)

    THE PURPOSES OF PROCESSING PERSONAL DATA

    You will always be told what I intend to do with any personal data we collect from you, however the principal reasons are to:

    –       Support the delivery of contracted services and products, or

    –       Achieve our marketing and sales strategies.

    When taking part in a counselling service or programme the information you provide will only be used for the stated purposes and/or those you have consented to.

    Untangling Minds will only keep data for as long as is necessary to meet these purposes. I will never share, sell, or rent individual personal information to an external party, or unless ordered by a court of law.

    KEEPING PERSONAL DATA SECURE

    The data I collect about you is accessed only by myself for legitimate business purposes and providing services as part of a contract.  Any personal data relating to the engagement is kept securely during the duration of the engagement and physically destroyed, shredded and deleted, one year after the end of the engagement.  

    If data is received via email, it is held within the email system.  All UntanglingMinds  laptops and backup facilities are encrypted and password protected and mobile devices are also password protected.  

    CONTROLLING YOUR PERSONAL DATA

     Any personal data I collect from you or I generate as a result of your interaction with our systems and services belongs to you. I work under the data protection laws in which I operate.

    HOW LONG WE HOLD DATA

    Client personal data will be held for as long as the individual or their employer is in receipt of services from UntanglingMinds plus up to a maximum of 1 year. Where a client makes a specific request for their data to be deleted sooner and it does not conflict with any legal or compliance requirement to hold data for longer, we will honour the request.

    My story and my expertise

    For anyone to whom Neurodiversity  is a new concept, it is the idea that  neurological differences are to be recognized and respected as any other human variation. Neurodiversity can help everyone (families, teachers, colleagues and friends etc)  frame challenges as differences, rather than as deficits.

    Testimonials

    • AA (Young Adult)

      “Emmeline is the first person I have ever felt as comfortable opening up to. I have never met someone more understanding and compassionate. She has such a warm, welcoming presence. Every time I speak with her, I feel so inspired. I wish she could live with me so I could talk to her every day!”

    • HS (Student Counsellor)

      “Emmeline is an outstanding therapist , compassionate supervisor, and brilliant educator.I worked alongside Emmeline gaining practicum experience. She  draws from an impressive number of years of diverse experience and education. I now refer clients to her and cannot recommend her strongly enough. I wish there were more therapists who had her solid common sense and her boundless empathy. If you have a chance to work with her, you will not walk away disappointed.”

    • TB (Parent of Autistic Teen)

      “ Emmeline was my son's counsellor. He was reluctant to speak, but really opened up to her. My husband and I could see him grow in confidence. She also worked with his teachers helping them understand his needs, he is much happier in school now”

    • SR (Parent of a pre-teen)

      “I love Emmeline’s workshops, she's such a knowledgeable speaker and so easy to understand and connect with. Her one about teens and friendships really helped me make sense of my son’s struggles and how I can support him by not being too involved”

    Making Virtual Therapy Work For You

    Virtual therapy has many benefits, including greater timing flexibility and the elimination of commuting.

    Here are some ideas to help you get comfortable and in the proper therapeutic mindset. 

    Find a Unique Location
    To distinguish therapy from work or leisure, find a special spot for it. If you work at a desk, try the couch or a different chair. If you work on the couch, sit on the other side of the couch. Some of my clients sit on the floor against a wall. Find a comfortable pillow or throw blanket to change the experience of being in that seat. Lower the lights or open a window. Find ways to tell your brain that you’re entering a new space.

    Phone or Computer?
    It is possible, use a computer or a phone for virtual therapy. Ideally, you want the camera to be straight on or slightly above you. If you use a phone prop it against something or grab yourself a phone stand.

    Get Yourself some Fidgets
    Therapy can be stressful and challenging as difficult subjects are discussed. I  like to have things around for clients to play with during therapy. Grab a few for yourself and put them in a bowl or a drawer to take out during therapy.

    With a few tweaks and some intentionality, your home will be the ideal place to conduct therapy. See you there!

    Digital technology has taken centre-stage in the lives of young people and has become embedded in every level of their education, social activities and work. It is now a key element to equipping them for life in the 21st century. Online therapy can provide a choice and a culturally appropriate route into their world; a way to build the therapeutic relationship around the way they choose to engage, and the chance to ‘open up’ in a space that is not controlled by adults.
