Privacy Policy
Your Privacy
MAPED Counselling & Psychotherapy respects your privacy and is committed to protecting your personal information.
This Privacy Policy explains how we collect and use personal information when you visit the MAPED Therapy website or contact us through the website.
Who we are
MAPED Counselling & Psychotherapy is operated by Myvanwy Evans-Davis, a counsellor and psychotherapist.
For the purposes of UK data protection law, MAPED Counselling & Psychotherapy is responsible for the personal information collected through this website.
If you have any questions about this Privacy Policy or how your information is handled, please contact:
Email: info@MAPEDTherapy.com
What information we collect
The website provides a contact form through which you can make an enquiry.
When you use the contact form, we may collect:
* Your first name
* Your last name
* Your email address
* The information you choose to include in your message
We may also receive limited technical information necessary for the website to function, such as information relating to your device or browser.
Please do not include detailed information about your mental health, medical history or other sensitive personal information in the website contact form. If you decide to work with MAPED Therapy, any information required as part of the therapy process will be collected and handled separately.
How we use your information
We use the information you provide to:
* Respond to your enquiry
* Provide information about counselling and psychotherapy services
* Discuss whether MAPED Therapy may be appropriate for you
* Arrange an initial conversation where appropriate
* Manage and respond to communications relating to your enquiry
We do not sell, rent or use your personal information for advertising purposes.
Our lawful basis for processing your information
We process information provided through the contact form where this is necessary to respond to your enquiry and take steps at your request before potentially entering into a therapeutic relationship.
Where you provide information that is considered special category data, such as information about your health, we will only process it where we have an appropriate lawful basis under UK data protection law.
Young people
MAPED Therapy offers counselling and psychotherapy to young people as well as adults.
If you are under 16, we ask that a parent, guardian or other adult with parental responsibility makes the initial contact through the website.
This does not mean that young people do not have rights to privacy or confidentiality. If therapy is considered appropriate, questions around consent, confidentiality, parental involvement and the young person’s individual circumstances will be discussed as part of the therapeutic contracting process.
Young people will be given information about how their personal information is handled in a way that is appropriate to their age and understanding.
Who we share your information with
We do not sell or rent your personal information.
Information submitted through the website may be processed by the website and email service providers that MAPED Therapy uses to operate the website and respond to enquiries.
We only share personal information where there is a legitimate reason to do so, where necessary to provide our services, or where we are legally required or permitted to do so.
Information relating to an ongoing therapeutic relationship, including clinical records and the circumstances in which information may need to be shared, is covered separately as part of the therapy agreement.
Cookies
The website may use cookies or similar technologies that are necessary for the website to function.
If the website uses non essential cookies, such as analytics or tracking cookies, these will be managed in accordance with applicable privacy and cookie requirements.
You can also control cookies through your browser settings.
How long we keep your information
We only keep information from website enquiries for as long as reasonably necessary to respond to the enquiry, manage the relationship with you and meet any relevant legal or professional obligations.
If an enquiry does not result in an ongoing relationship, we will not keep your information indefinitely.
Different retention arrangements apply to therapy client records and will be explained separately as part of the therapy process.
Keeping your information secure
We take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect personal information against unauthorised access, loss, misuse or disclosure.
However, no method of transmitting information over the internet or by email can be guaranteed to be completely secure. Please therefore avoid including detailed sensitive information in your initial website enquiry.
Your rights
Under UK data protection law, you may have the right to:
* Ask to see the personal information we hold about you
* Ask us to correct inaccurate information
* Ask us to delete your information in certain circumstances
* Ask us to restrict how we use your information in certain circumstances
* Object to certain types of processing
* Withdraw consent where we rely on consent to process your information
If you would like to exercise any of these rights, please contact:
info@MAPEDTherapy.com
Complaints
If you have concerns about how MAPED Therapy handles your personal information, please contact us first so that we can try to resolve your concerns.
You also have the right to complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office, the UK’s independent data protection regulator.

We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes to the website, our services or data protection requirements.
The most recent version will always be available on this website.
