Your information
Privacy and confidentiality
Plain English, no legal maze. Here is what I hold, why, and how to get rid of it.
About 3 minutes to read. You can skim the bold bits instead.
In short: I keep the minimum: your name, email and brief session notes. Nothing is sold or shared for marketing.
What I collect
- Your name and email address, so I can arrange sessions.
- Anything you choose to tell me in a message or session.
- Short session notes and agreed next steps.
You do not need to send a diagnostic report or details about perimenopause or menopause to enquire. Whether you are diagnosed or self identifying, share only what you feel comfortable sharing in your first message.
How it is stored
Notes are kept in password-protected storage, held for two years after our last session, then deleted. This website does not use advertising or tracking cookies.
Confidentiality
What you say in a session stays between us. The only exceptions are where there is a serious risk to your safety or someone else's, or where the law requires disclosure. If that ever happens, I will tell you unless it would be unsafe to do so.
The contact form
The form on this site does not send anything by itself. It opens a draft in your own email app so you can read it, change it, and decide whether to send.
Your rights
You can ask to see, correct or delete anything I hold about you, at any time, by emailing laurastanton.coaching@gmail.com. You do not need to give a reason, and I will reply within 30 days.
Important note
Coaching is not therapy, diagnosis or medical care. If you need urgent help, contact your GP, NHS 111, or emergency services.
