Counseling for Anxiety

[Anxiousbunny]

Hi, Im wondering if counselors tell the parents everything you say even if Im only 16 and if its not about harm to myself or others because my mom said that if i talk about her to a counselor i wont be living with her like wtf I doubt that would happen but I just wanna know if counselors will tell the parents everything you say.

If you need to talk you should do so, thus is about you and your well being. Whatever you discuss and who you see is confidential between you and your counsellor. A breech of this trust goes against the code of conduct. This maybe broken if they think you are in danger regarding harm to you and any life threatening situations.

Thank you! Your right about all that

You should go get ahold of your problems now that your young.

They can't disclose anything unless you talk about actually planning on doing harm.

Everything is confidential you get everything off your chest, do not listen to what your Mother threatens you with, sounds like you need a great deal of love and support x

Hi,

Certainly when my son had counselling at 15 we were not told anything he wanted keeping confidential. As long as you are anyone else is not at risk then the information remains between you and them. Hope this helps

No....by law, the counselor can't say anything to ANYBODY. Now, threat of bodily harm or suicide is an exception. It sounds like your Mom is just frustrated and worried that things are misconstrued or something. I've been there done that when I was a teenager. At the time, I thought my Mom was evil but now I realize that she was just worried. It will be okay.

I cant say for certain my first time i was 18. But surely there must be a confidentiality thing with the councillor.

hi anxious, if you are with a counsellor, its as you are with a doctor, they are there to treat and help you, not your parents, tell them everything on your mind that is the only way they can help you, keep posting , jasper xx

Everything you share is strickly confidential between you and your councillor.
