Filing a Complaint
If you feel your data has been mishandled, please first reach out to me to discuss your concerns. If necessary, you can also file a possible complaint with the Central Bureau for Complaints Management in Healthcare (CBKZ) via klachten@cbkz.nl or by registered mail: CBKZ, Antwoordnummer 570, 4200 WB Gorinchem. Complaints can be filed digitally using the complaint form.
CONFIDENTIALITY
Confidentiality is a cornerstone of our work together. In most cases, no information about your participation at InPsy, including the fact that you are a client, will be shared with anyone outside the practice without your explicit written consent. My priority is to create a safe and supportive space where you feel comfortable discussing your concerns.
At InPsy, we follow the professional, legal, and ethical standards of the Nederlands Instituut van Psychologen (NIP). As part of our service, I keep confidential records of all therapy sessions, and this information is not shared without your clear, written permission.
At times, I may find it helpful to consult with my supervisor or other professionals regarding your case. In such instances, I will only share information relevant to the consultation, without revealing any identifying details. Supervisors and colleagues are also legally bound to maintain confidentiality.
Please note that there are specific situations where confidentiality may need to be breached by law. These include instances where there is a risk of harm to yourself or others, cases involving child or elder abuse, or when ordered by a court. I will explain these circumstances to you in detail during our first session, and you can also refer to the Privacy Policy for more information.
