Assessment services – There is an additional agreement for those clients seeking assessment services (child/adolescent and adult).
Confidentiality
Counselling and assessment sessions are confidential in nature. There are limits to confidentiality in the case risk of suicide, child abuse, potential harm to others, age or if subpoenaed by a court. The confidentiality, and limits of it, will be discussed with each client and involved party.
