1. Introduction
At Queen of Consciousness, I respect your privacy and am committed to protecting your personal information in accordance with applicable UK data protection legislation, including the UK GDPR and Data Protection Act 2018.
This policy explains how I collect, use, store and protect your information when you visit my website, contact me or use my hypnotherapy and somatic trauma-informed coaching services.

2. Information I Collect
I may collect your name, contact details, booking information, payment records, correspondence and information you voluntarily share about your health, medical history, medication, emotional wellbeing or personal circumstances where relevant to your sessions. I may also collect technical website information, including cookies and usage data where applicable.
3. How I Use Your Information
Your information may be used to:
Respond to enquiries and manage appointments.
Provide appropriate hypnotherapy and coaching services.
Understand your needs and assess the suitability of sessions.
Process payments and maintain financial records.
Communicate about bookings and services.
Meet legal, insurance and business obligations.
Maintain website security and improve the visitor experience.
4. Confidentiality and Sensitive Information
I recognise that discussions during hypnotherapy and coaching can involve deeply personal and sensitive information. I handle this information with care and take reasonable steps to protect its confidentiality.
I only collect and use sensitive health information where necessary and where an appropriate lawful basis and condition under data protection law apply. I do not sell your personal information or routinely share your private health information with unrelated third parties.
Confidentiality is subject to applicable legal obligations and circumstances in which disclosure is required or permitted by law.
5. Lawful Basis for Processing
Depending on the circumstances, I process personal information where necessary to provide a requested service, comply with legal obligations, pursue legitimate business interests or with your consent. Sensitive health information requires additional legal protection, and I will obtain explicit consent where this is the appropriate legal basis.
6. Sharing and Security
Your information may be shared with trusted providers where necessary to operate my business, including website hosting, appointment scheduling, payment processing, email services, accountants and insurers. Information may also be disclosed where required or permitted by law.
I take reasonable technical and organisational measures to protect your information against loss, misuse, unauthorised access or disclosure. Some service providers may process information outside the UK; where required, appropriate legal safeguards will be used.
7. Data Retention
I retain personal information only for as long as reasonably necessary to provide services, maintain appropriate client and financial records, and meet legal, insurance or professional obligations. Information is securely deleted or anonymised when it is no longer required, subject to applicable retention requirements.
8. Your Rights
Under applicable data protection law, you may have the right to access your information, correct inaccuracies, request deletion or restriction of processing, object to certain uses, request data portability, and withdraw consent where processing relies on consent. These rights are subject to legal conditions and exceptions.
To exercise your rights, contact info@queenofconsciousness.com. You may also complain to the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO), the UK’s data protection regulator, at ico.org.uk.
9. Cookies and Third-Party Websites
This website may use cookies and similar technologies for essential functionality, analytics or other purposes. Where required, consent will be requested before non-essential cookies are used. You can manage cookies through available website settings or your browser.
External websites linked from this site operate under their own privacy policies, and I am not responsible for their practices.
10. Marketing
I will only send marketing communications where permitted by law. You can opt out at any time. Opting out will not affect essential communications relating to appointments or services you have requested.
11. Children’s Privacy
Where services are offered to anyone under 18, appropriate consent, safeguarding and privacy arrangements will be considered in accordance with applicable law and the circumstances.
12. Changes to This Policy
This policy may be updated to reflect changes in my services, website or legal obligations. The latest version will be published on this page.
