Shanna Hickey Counselling’s Social Media Policy

This disclaimer applies to all visitors, readers, and followers of @shannahickeycounselling. All information including posts, stories and reels shared on social media accounts are strictly for educational and promotional purposes.

Social media does not equate to a therapuetic relationship and does not substitute professional counselling or psychotherapy.

Clients of Shanna Hickey Counselling are invited to engage on the various social media platforms and website, however I will now follow you back and there is no expectation that you should follow the various social media platforms available. Clients are free to follow and engage with public social media platforms and content of Shanna Hickey Counselling if they choose to. Any engagement is at your discretion and waives your right to certain elements of privacy if you are identifiable online.

I do not accept friend requests, connect requests or follow reqests from current or former clients on any social networking sites including Instagram, LinkedIn or Meta (Facebook) as this can compromise your confidentiality and our respective privacy. It may also blur the boundaries of our thearpuetic relationship. If you have any questions about this, please bring them up with me during your next session.

Shanna Hickey Counselling offers no clinical services on digital public platforms but retrains the right to discuss general therapuetic content with anyone who engages with the social media.

I do not respond to direct messages (DMs).
