How do I know If counselling is right for me?

But ultimately only you can make the decision if counselling is right for you.

Will my counselling sessions be confidential?

Yes, counselling sessions are confidential. I am ethically bound to keep what you share private.

*Note that as a registered Counsellor I am obliged to have a supervisor overseeing my work, to ensure I am maintaining a high level of assistance to my clients. While I might discuss the generalities of your case with my supervisor I would not divulge your identity and the supervisor would also be under oath to protect the privacy of any information that is shared.

Will any of my information be shared?

Therapists are committed to your privacy, so sharing your personal information is a rare occurrence.

There are two exceptions:

1. The first exception is if the therapist becomes aware that a client is in imminent danger to themselves or others, or that someone else is a danger to the client.

In this case you would be encouraged to seek necessary support, and if you were unable or unwilling to do so the therapist has a duty of care to seek this support on your behalf.

2. The second exception is if the therapist becomes aware that the client intended to commit a major crime of any sort.

In such case the therapist ahs a legal obligation to disclose such information to the relevant authorities.

*Note that for the purposes of therapy personal drug use or addictions are not considered to be criminal (unless they involve anyone underage) They are only seen as areas to addressed in therapy.
