responsible for the privacy practices of such other websites. We encourage our
users to be aware, when they leave our website, to read the privacy statements

This privacy policy applies solely to information collected by this website.
CHANGE
IN PRIVACY POLICY
As we plan to
ensure our privacy policy remains current, this policy is subject to change. We
may modify this policy at any time, in our sole discretion and all modifications
will be effective immediately upon our posting of the modifications on this
website. Please return periodically to review our privacy policy.
If you have
any questions or concerns at any time about our privacy policy or the use of
your personal information, please contact us via the contact form or phone:
0411 564 587 and we will respond within 48 hours.
SOCIAL MEDIA POLICY
As a Clinical Psychologist registered with AHPRA, I
have certain rules and ethical obligations when conducting myself on the
Internet. This information will outline my social media policy and how you may
expect me to respond to any interactions between us on the Internet, especially
if you are, or have received therapy sessions with myself in person.
Friending and Following
I do not accept friend or contact requests from
current or former clients on any personal social networking site under my
name Nadene van der Linden (Facebook, LinkedIn, etc). I believe
that adding clients as friends or contacts on these sites can compromise your
confidentiality and our respective privacy. It may also blur the boundaries of
our therapeutic relationship. If you have questions about this, please bring
them up with me and we can talk more about it.
You are welcome to view my public Facebook, Twitter,
or Instagram pages under Nadenev.thepychologyist, as I share my blog posts,
psychology news, and professional updates in this forum. I have no expectation
that you as a client will want to follow my blog, and you are welcome to use
your own discretion in choosing whether to follow me. If you would like to
discuss any of the this website’s content with me, you are welcome to bring it
along to our sessions.
I will also not follow back any current or former
clients on any social media forum. My reasoning is that I believe casual
viewing of clients’ online content outside of the therapy hour can create
confusion in regard to whether it’s being done as a part of your treatment or
to satisfy my personal curiosity. In addition, viewing your online activities without
your consent and without our explicit arrangement towards a specific purpose
could potentially have a negative influence on our working relationship. If
there are things from your online life that you wish to share with me, please
bring them into our sessions where we can view and explore them together,
during the therapy hour.
Interacting
If you are a client and would like to contact me in
between sessions, please do so via email or phone, further details can be found
in the Contact Us tab. Please do not use social networking sites such as
Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, or blog comments to contact me, as these sites
are not secure and I may not read these messages in a timely fashion. Also,
engaging with me this way could compromise your confidentiality. It may also
create the possibility that these exchanges become a part of your legal medical
record and will need to be documented and archived in your chart.
I prefer using email only to arrange or modify
appointments. Please do not email me content related to your therapy sessions,
as email is not completely secure or confidential. If you choose to communicate
with me by email, be aware that all emails are retained in the logs of your and
my Internet service providers. You should also know that any emails I receive
from you and any responses that I send to you become a part of your legal
record.
Use of Search Engines
I do not search for clients on Google or Facebook
or other search engines.
Business Review Sites
The Australian Psychological Association’s Ethics
Code states that it is unethical for psychologists to solicit testimonials from
therapy clients: “Psychologists do not solicit testimonials from current
therapy clients/patients or other persons who because of their particular
circumstances are vulnerable to undue influence.”
If you happen to find my practice or website on
review sites such as Yelp, Healthshare, Bing etc, please note that these
listings are NOT request for a testimonial, rating, or endorsement from you as
my client. Of course, you have a right to express yourself on any site you
wish. But due to confidentiality, I cannot respond to any review on any of
these sites whether it is positive or negative. I urge you to take your own
privacy as seriously as I take my commitment of confidentiality to you. But you
are more than welcome to tell anyone you wish that I’m your therapist or how
you feel about the treatment I provided to you, in any forum of your choosing.
Conclusion
Thank you for taking the time to review my Social
Media Policy. If you have questions or concerns about any of these policies and
procedures or regarding our potential interactions on the Internet, please do
bring them to my attention so that we can discuss them.
