Nicole is a registered provider of psychological services in France (ADELI 699350872). Despite recent changes to national health insurance, sessions with Nicole are not reimbursed by ‘assurance maladie’. It is a good idea to speak to your General Practitioner to fully explore your options.
Most private medical insurers provide some level of reimbursement. This level of coverage may have increased in response to the provision of psychological services being recognized by ‘assurance maladie’. Please clarify this with your private health insurer.
Confidentiality
Nicole adheres to the French psychologists code of conduct (9 September 2021; code of conduct). As such, all information disclosed within sessions remains strictly confidential. Your right to confidentiality is protected by law (Code pénal, Article 226-13) although I can be ordered to breech confidentiality by the courts. The specifics of maintaining confidentiality are usually discussed in the initial session.
A further note on confidentiality. I regularly engage in supervision with other mental health professionals, which involves discussing issues that arise in my work with clients. Any disclosure of client information is non-identifiable and my peers, as health professionals are equally held accountable to maintain confidentiality.
At the request of the client, information can be released to relevant professionals. This is always discussed in advance and the client must sign (or electronically approve) a written release of information document specific to the situation.
