2. About the Mind-Reframed Brand and Company Structure
Mind-Reframed is a shared brand name under which two separate UK-registered limited companies operate:
-
Mind-Reframed Limited – offering 1:2:1 and couples therapy (emotionally focused therapy, somatic emotional release, psychedelic integration), consultancy, supervision, training and retreats.
-
DBT in Mind Limited – specialising in Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and Mentalization-Based Therapy (MBT) programmes to support for people navigating challenges with emotional regulation and complex relationship dynamics, including those who have received diagnoses such as BPD/EUPD, ADHD, or complex trauma.
DBT in Mind Limited provides services via a team of professionals who are independent, self-employed therapists (contractors). These therapists work with clients under the DBT in Mind umbrella are not employees. They are individually responsible for their clinical decisions, professional standards, and the handling of therapy records.
3. Information We Collect and How It Is Used
When you make an enquiry or begin working with us, we collect basic information (such as name, contact details and referral reasons) for administrative purposes such as arranging sessions, invoicing or matching you with a therapist. This administrative data is managed by Mind-Reframed Limited or DBT in Mind Limited, depending on the service you are accessing.
Once you begin therapy, your therapist may collect and store sensitive personal information (e.g. assessments, therapy notes, clinical history). Your allocated therapist is the sole data controller for this clinical information and is independently responsible for storing and safeguarding it in line with their professional, legal and ethical standards.
4. Your Rights
You have rights under the UK GDPR including:
-
The right to access the personal data held about you
-
The right to request corrections or deletions
-
The right to request transfer of your data to another provider
For administrative data (e.g. contact information or invoices), you may contact the relevant company – Mind-Reframed Limited or DBT in Mind Limited.
For clinical or therapy records, you should contact your individual therapist directly, as they are responsible for those records.
We do not offer expert witness services for court proceedings.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) if you believe your data has been mishandled.
5. Data Retention
Therapists retain clinical data in accordance with their professional obligations, typically for six years after therapy ends (or longer if required). Mind-Reframed Limited and DBT in Mind Limited retain administrative data only as long as necessary to support service provision and comply with legal requirements, including indemnity insurance.
6. Data Sharing
We will only share your information with third parties with your explicit consent, unless required by law (e.g. to protect safety or comply with legal duties). When shared, data will be transmitted securely.

8. Lawful Basis for Processing
Mind-Reframed Limited and DBT in Mind Limited process your administrative data under the lawful basis of contract and legitimate interest.
