You’ve built your practice on trust… but how do you translate that into real-world GDPR confidence?
‘GDPR training for Self-Employed Mental Health Practitioners’ teaches you how to protect your practice, your service users, and your peace of mind without the overwhelm.
Does this sound familiar?
You get chills every time you hear about a data breach knowing it could happen to your business
You've built a business around trust, but deep down you're not sure if your data processes back that trust up
You want to feel GDPR confident, but the idea of figuring it out alone feels overwhelming, stressful, and easy to postpone
You worry that one mistake could damage your hard-earned reputation and negatively impact your service users
You've put some protection measures in place but you're not sure what good looks like and what's enough
“Arguably the best training in the business. I’ve done GDPR training before, but I’ve never left with so much valuable, practical advice relevant to me as a coach. I’ve already improved my processes as a result of the training, which will protect my practice AND my service users. I’ll definitely be doing this again next year.”
– DR TANYA BANFIELD. PSYCHOLOGIST & COACH
Here’s why this isn’t like every other GDPR training out there…
Most GDPR courses feel like they’re built for big organisations, tech teams, or basically robots. They’re long, dry, and packed with jargon that doesn’t reflect how real practitioners actually work. This training? It’s the opposite.
It's just 90 minutes
So you can fit it into a workday without losing a day of delivery or needing to pause your practice.
It's designed for practitioners
Especially those who work with sensitive data, mental health concerns, and vulnerable clients.
It's neurodivergent-friendly
Because clear, structured information shouldn’t be overwhelming. You’ll be supported, not swamped.
It's live and online
So you can ask real questions, get real answers, and never feel lost in the small print.
It's practical
You get expert frameworks and actions to reduce your risk immediately
It's evidence you care
You’ll get a certificate of completion to share with referral partners and clients, and annual reminders to keep you on track

Real Risks. Avoidable Outcomes.
This isn’t about scaring you – it’s about protecting what you’ve built.
GDPR might feel like admin, but it’s also the foundation of trust, professionalism, and safety in your work. And when something goes wrong, it usually happens quietly… until it doesn’t.
Here’s what that can look like:
- One practitioner hadn’t informed their service-users of the need to share data with the referral company and in cases of safeguarding, causing substantial distress, a formal complaint, and an inquiry
- One practitioner hadn’t checked their assistant understood GDPR requirements for health data, which led to a data breach and service user distress
- One practitioner used a downloadable Privacy Notice and hadn’t made it specific to their practice, so when service users had questions, they didn’t have answers
- One practitioner sent sensitive client notes in an email attachment with no protections, leading to a data breach
- One practitioner received a Subject Access Request from a service user and didn’t know where to start in pulling together the information, it took hours, stress, and external expertise to get sorted
The good news?
All of this is preventable.
You just need the right guidance, the right structure, and a training that speaks your language.
That’s exactly why this training exists.
You don’t need to become a GDPR expert, you just need someone who understands your industry to cut through the confusion and show you what matters.
This 90-minute, live, online session is designed specifically for coaches and therapists like you – people who care deeply about trust, service user safety, and doing things right, but don’t have hours to spend on complicated legal training.
You’ll walk away knowing how to handle client data with confidence, what your responsibilities are (and aren’t), and how to protect your business from disruption, breaches, or reputation damage. No jargon. No overwhelm. Just clear, actionable guidance that fits your work and gives you peace of mind.
This isn’t about ticking a box – it’s about protecting what you’ve worked so hard to build.
Why me?
Because you don’t need a lecture – you need someone who gets your work.
I’m Katie, a certified Data Protection Officer, GDPR and Cyber Security specialist, and founder who’s been helping coaches, therapists, and healthcare professionals protect their practices since 2019.
Over the years, I’ve worked with NHS teams, private practitioners, and self-employed coaches, as well as the organisations that engage them. I understand the real weight of your work, and how important trust, boundaries, and professional safety are in everything you do.
This training isn’t theory.
I’ve helped real people in your position:
- Spot and fix gaps in their data handling
- Respond to actual data breaches and ICO concerns
- Put systems in place that protect their clients, their reputation, and their peace of mind
And because I’ve worked closely with neurodivergent practitioners and use neurodivergent-friendly practices myself, everything I teach is built to be clear, calm, and supportive, without overwhelm.
I believe in people-first protection.
That means I’ll give you the tools, frameworks, and expert guidance you need, but you decide how to apply them in a way that fits your practice. No corporate templates. No one-size-fits-all compliance. Just real-world support from someone who understands the emotional and ethical stakes of your work.
Because at the end of the day, GDPR isn’t just a legal requirement.
It’s part of how you hold space for others – ethically, professionally, and safely.
With ‘GDPR training for Self-Employed Mental Health Practitioners’, you will:
Reduce your risk and avoid costly mistakes – no more second-guessing if you’re doing it ‘right’
Protect your practice and service users with confidence – because trust is everything in this work
Feel calm and clear about your responsibilities – goodbye overwhelm, hello peace of mind
Be ready for referral partnerships or contracts – confidently show you take data protection seriously
Finally stop putting it off – so future-you will be grateful you didn’t wait for a breach or complaint
Take control without becoming a compliance expert – just the practical, relevant parts that matter
Strengthen your reputation – show clients and companies you’re not just ethical, you’re professional
Create a system that works for you – frameworks that flex with your practice
