Is what I say to a counsellor confidential?
A. Ordinarily, what you say to a counsellor is confidential and will not be passed-on to anyone else (like a teacher or another family member) without your consent. An exception to this could be if a counsellor had good reasons to be concerned for your safety or the safety of someone else.
