Why would I want to talk to a counsellor?
People usually decide to talk to a counsellor when they struggling to cope with the pain they are carrying on their own and recognize that sharing would lessen the emotional burden.
How does confidentiality work?
What you say in therapy stays in therapy, I only have the legal obligation to break confidentiality in the event of harm to self or others and to safeguard children. As your counsellor I will always endeavour to have the conversation with you first.
