Thanks everyone for all your replies. I wasn’t sure anyone would reply at all as the board is so quiet these days. I’m seeing this T privately and no-one has referred me to her and she works in private practice from her home, so there’s no way she could have my details. It’s reassuring to hear that others feel this is reasonable. On balance, it seems professional to me for a T to take those details from a client in case the client presents with risks such as being at risk of suicide. Echos, I’m surprised to hear that taking details isn’t seen as standard practice. Every other T that I’ve seen has taken my details down. I liked the T hugely on my second visit, so I plan to continue with her.
