Social media policy
Social media is part of everyday life. This page explains how I manage the overlap between online spaces and our therapeutic relationship, so you know where the boundaries are.
The therapeutic relationship is different from other relationships. It works best when it has clear boundaries, and social media can blur those boundaries in ways that are not always obvious.
These are guidelines rather than rigid rules. If anything here raises questions for you, please bring it to a session and we can talk it through.
Social media contact
To protect our therapeutic relationship, I do not follow, connect with, or engage with current or former clients on social media. If you send me a follow request or connection, I will decline it. Not out of rudeness, but because the boundary matters.
If we happen to cross paths in a comment section or online group, I will not acknowledge that we know each other. Your privacy always comes first.
Following my online presence
You are welcome to read my blog or follow any public accounts I may have. But if you find that seeing my posts affects how you feel about our work, or about me, it is worth considering stepping back. Either way, please bring it to a session. What comes up is often useful material.
My blog and public content
I write about therapy and mental health to help people understand how psychodynamic thinking applies to everyday life. Everything I publish is general. I never write about specific clients, and nothing I post is directed at anyone I work with.
If you read something I have written and it resonates, or unsettles you, please let me know so we can explore it together.
Searching for information
I do not search for my clients online. I prefer that what I know about you comes directly from you, in the room. If you searched for me before we started working together and something came up that you have questions about, I am happy to talk about it.
Contacting me online
Please do not use social media to contact me about therapy. Messages sent through social media platforms may not be seen promptly and are not secure. For anything related to our work, please use email or the contact form on this website.
The short version: I keep my online life and our therapeutic relationship separate, and I would encourage you to do the same.
This policy sits alongside my privacy policy, which covers how your personal information is stored and protected.
Questions? Just ask in session, or get in touch.
