Social media can be a great way to keep in-touch with people, to publicise, events, and to market products or services. However, they should all be used with an awareness of the risks involved.
In addition to my website I advertise my services and provide information on several social media platforms:
Twitter
Facebook
LinkedIn
Academia.edu
ResearchGate

All of these platforms are limited to my professional research and therapy work related to spiritual emergency and anomalous experiences.
- Although I also have a separate Facebook account it is for my personal use and therefore kept private. The professional code of ethics that I follow does not allow me to accept friend requests from current or previous clients.
- I would encourage all users of social media to carefully consider how much personal information to share on these platforms. This information can easily become public and it is extremely difficult, if not impossible, to delete it at a later date. For further information and guidance see https://www.getsafeonline.org/social-networking/social-networking-sites/
- Although initial contact may be via social media, any online therapy that I conduct will not use any of these social media platforms as privacy and confidentiality cannot be guaranteed on any of them. Contact will be via the mutually agreed methods and times as discussed and agreed at the start of our work together.
