GDPR advice for therapy professionals & small business owners

In 2018 the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) came into effect. Anyone using personal information about others in a professional or formal capacity has to comply with the GDPR and its companion legislation, the Data Protection Act 2018.



Confused about how to comply with the GDPR in your practice or business?

GDPR Advice and Consultancy (picture of worried looking man on laptop)


Let me help you!


As well as my therapy experience, I have expertise in the GDPR and associated data protection legislation.


In the course of eight years working for the UK’s data protection watchdog, the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), I provided advice to approximately 15,000 individuals, businesses and organisations on data protection matters.


I also provided internal training to ICO colleagues in the complexities of data protection legislation.



Online training in the GDPR

To help people understand in simple terms what the GDPR requires, I have developed a number of resources focused on therapy professionals and small businesses.


I also offer one-to-one advice and consultancy to provide you with bespoke guidance that meets the specific needs of your practice or business.


You can download a free copy of my eBook, Principles of the GDPR, which covers in simple terms the fundamental concepts of the GDPR.


The GDPR for Therapy Professionals

Current online training options

I have developed an online course, The GDPR for Therapy Professionals, specifically focused on those using personal data in the therapy setting. It is ideal for those working as therapists in any field, or running a therapy or complementary health business.

Other training options

If it better suits your needs, I can provide bespoke talks, webinars and trainings to groups, businesses or associations. Contact Us to discuss how I can meet your specific requirements.



Practical advice and support in producing a GDPR compliant Privacy Notice

Privacy Policy - What is it? What goes in it? Who gets it and when?

The GDPR says you have to provide individuals with specific information about how you will use their personal information, your legal justification for doing so, and a host of other pieces of statutory information.


This information is usually provided in a Privacy Notice (often also called a Privacy Policy).


I can help you produce a bespoke Privacy Notice for your business, giving you the peace of mind that you are complying with the GDPR.


I can also advise you on how and when to provide individuals with your Privacy Notice
