The only exceptions are:

• If client notes are subpoenaed by a court of law

• If the Counsellor feels that you are at risk of harm to yourself or others

• If you require a referral to another service, in which case your permission would be sought first.

• Dalai will need to report if a child has been or is at risk of being harmed.

Counselling generally works around a block of 6 sessions, preferably weekly or fortnightly. This structure allows enough time for us to work towards achieving your goals. In the sixth session, we can discuss whether you feel that you have achieved everything you set out, or if you would like further sessions.
