Professional Ethics

CONFIDENTIALITY

The fact that you have consulted me is confidential. I do not disclose or confirm it to third parties, including on social media: I do not react to clients’ posts about working with me. I work within a professional community and communicate with supervisors, colleagues and other clients. With none of them do I name clients or share any additional details. If I make notes during a session, you may ask what exactly I am writing down.

SOCIAL MEDIA

Confidentiality is limited in the modern world, and it is not always obvious which actions give it up. On social networks such as Facebook and Instagram, follows, likes and comments are generally visible to other users and show your interest in the page of a coach, psychologist or practice teacher. For my part, I try to keep this to a minimum: I turn off comments and likes, but the platforms themselves may still show who follows what and who liked what. What to leave open and what to make private is yours to decide; noticing this boundary matters, especially in work with mindfulness.

TOPICS OF MY TEXTS

My texts are about general themes and processes, not about specific individuals. The situations described are generalised and are not based on clients’ stories. If you recognise yourself or someone you know in a text, it is a coincidence.

MY PUBLICATIONS

Texts on the website are available without subscription or registration. In addition, there is the website’s Telegram bot: through it you can write to me. How it works is described below.

WEBSITE

There is no cookie banner on this website because it has no cookies, no analytics and no trackers. I do not know who reads which texts.

HOW TO REACH ME

For sessions I use Signal, Proton Meet or Threema. Ordinary email is fine for organisational matters; for sensitive topics, please use secure email (the address is on the Contact page). If none of these suits you, another channel is possible as an exception, for example Zoom with end-to-end encryption: we agree on this separately. Direct messages on social media and ordinary chats are not meant for this.

THE WEBSITE’S TELEGRAM BOT

The bot has one path: writing to me.

The message reaches only me, together with your name and @username (if you have one). The bot does not receive your phone number. It does not record or store anything: the conversation stays in Telegram only, and the message passes through Telegram and the bot’s server (Cloudflare).

Telegram bots have no end-to-end encryption, so sensitive topics are better sent to the secure email.

SEARCHING FOR INFORMATION ABOUT YOU

I do not search for information about clients in search engines or on social media.

REVIEWS

I do not ask for reviews, do not publish client stories and do not reply to reviews: a review under your name reveals that you consulted me. Impressions and wishes are best brought into the work itself, into direct contact.
