Counselling Contract

Client Responsibilities

  • To attend punctually

  • All appointments paid 24 hours in advance

Confidentiality

I want to assure you that everything we discuss in our sessions is confidential. I may need to share some insights with my supervisor to ensure I'm providing you with the best support possible. When I do this, confidentiality will be fully maintained.

​There may be rare instances when it's important to involve other professionals or your emergency contact for your well-being. If that situation arises, I will reach out to you for your permission first and let you know exactly what will be discussed.

​After each session, I take brief notes to help me track our progress together. Please know that your identity will remain confidential in these notes, and they will be stored securely.

​My priority is your safety. If I ever believe that you might cause serious harm to yourself or someone else, I will have to break confidentiality to ensure you get the help you need. In such a case, I would reach out to my supervisor and may alert emergency services but I will do this with your best interests at heart.
