Ensuring confidentiality and privacy involves several measures:

  • Secure Platforms: Use only secure, HIPAA-compliant video conferencing platforms that encrypt data.
  • Informed Consent: Discuss confidentiality policies with clients, including how their information will be stored and who has access to it.
  • Private Spaces: Encourage clients to find a private, quiet space for sessions to minimise interruptions and ensure they feel secure discussing sensitive topics.
  • Session Documentation: Be mindful of how you document sessions. Ensure that notes are stored securely and that client information is not visible to others.
