Emergency Contact

Confidentiality is maintained for clients as far as possible but when a person or persons are at risk, confidentiality must be waived and the appropriate authorities or family members notified. Such situations include the following:

1.     The client is at risk of serious self harm or of considering suicide,

2.     Of harming another person or committing homicide,

3.     Abuse of children is a mandatory reporting offence which I am required to report by

law.

Note: Please be aware that on occasion, notes may be subpoenaed due to a court order.

Where confidentiality cannot be maintained the counsellor will take all possible steps to first inform/discuss their intention with the client.

I have read the above and understand the counsellor’s social and ethical responsibility to make such decisions where necessary. I understand and agree to these conditions concerning confidentiality, and have read and agree to the conditions of the cancellation policy.
