Legal Notice

1. Professional Status and Practice Location

I offer private, confidential services to adults, adolescents, and families. My services fall within three distinct areas of practice:

Counselling
Therapeutic social work
Independent social work consultancy

My practice works with clients in Israel and the United Kingdom, offering services in person where applicable, and via secure online platforms, depending on location, suitability, and availability.

Primary practice locations: London, England N3 (details on request) and קריית מלאכי | Kiriyat Malachi, Israel.

2. Professional Registration – United Kingdom

I am registered in the United Kingdom as a Social Worker with Social Work England.

Social Work England Registration Number: SW164090

Where services are provided to clients located in the United Kingdom in my capacity as a social worker, they are delivered under my Social Work England registration and in accordance with applicable UK professional standards, safeguarding requirements, and data protection law.

I am also a member of:

BASW (British Association of Social Workers)

3. Counselling Memberships

In relation to my counselling and CBT-informed work, I am a Senior Member of ACCPH.

I am also a member of:

Complex Trauma Institute
The Israel Association of Mental Health Professionals

These memberships do not constitute statutory regulation.

4. Israel

I work with clients in Israel; however, my licensing process in Israel is currently ongoing.

Until that process is complete, nothing on this website should be understood as stating that I am licensed or statutorily regulated in Israel. This website will be updated once my licensing status in Israel is finalised.

All services are offered only where appropriate, lawful, and within the scope of my training, qualifications, and current professional status.

5. Jurisdiction and Service Location

Clients are responsible for informing me of their physical location at the time of service delivery, as this may affect jurisdiction, safeguarding responsibilities, and the availability of services.

Where services are provided to clients located in the United Kingdom, those services are subject to applicable UK law and, where relevant, the professional standards of Social Work England and/or ACCPH.

Where services are provided outside the United Kingdom, availability will depend on legal, regulatory, insurance, and professional considerations relevant to the client’s location.

6. Scope of Services

Services may include:

Counselling
Counselling interventions
CBT-informed interventions
Therapeutic social work
Independent social work consultancy
Therapeutic support related to the above services

All services are delivered within the scope of my training, qualifications, and current professional status.

The professional framework applying to a service will depend on the nature of the work agreed in advance. This will be clarified with clients before work begins.

7. Professional Indemnity Insurance

I maintain cross-border professional indemnity insurance appropriate to my current areas of practice.

Details of coverage are available upon request.

8. Confidentiality and Data Protection

Client information is handled in accordance with applicable confidentiality and data protection requirements, including UK data protection law where relevant.

A full Privacy Policy outlining data handling, storage, and client rights is available on this website.

9. Complaints and Ethical Concerns Procedure

If you are dissatisfied with any aspect of the service provided, you are encouraged to raise concerns directly with me in the first instance.

Where services are provided under my Social Work England registration, clients may also refer concerns to Social Work England.

Where services are provided under my ACCPH membership, an individual who has received therapeutic or coaching services from an ACCPH member may also make a complaint to ACCPH. ACCPH states that complaints may also be made by:

a parent or legal guardian acting on behalf of a child under 16
a representative acting on behalf of an adult lacking mental capacity, with appropriate evidence

Complaints must be supported by first-hand, verifiable evidence. Hearsay cannot be accepted.

For therapy clients located in Israel, ethical concerns may also be raised through Get Help Israel / the Israel Association of Mental Health Professionals, in accordance with its Ethics Committee process, Code of Ethics, and applicable procedures. Get Help Israel states that it is not a licensing or regulatory body; concerns are reviewed by its Ethics Committee against its ethical standards for inclusion in its database, and possible outcomes may include feedback, guidance, or recommendation for removal from membership/listing.

I am not currently holding out this website as stating that I am licensed or statutorily regulated in Israel. This website will be updated once my licensing process in Israel is complete.

10. Limitation of Service

Services provided are therapeutic, supportive, consultative, and assessment-based in nature, depending on the service agreed. They do not constitute emergency medical care, psychiatric treatment, or crisis intervention.

If you are experiencing an emergency or are at immediate risk, you should contact local emergency services in your jurisdiction immediately.

This website will be updated with any additional regulatory information once my licensing process in Israel is complete.
