It is very natural that you may want to know how the young person is getting on in their counselling journey. We understand that you will want the best for your child. It is important to remember that from the first session, the counsellor has agreed to a confidential relationship with their client, and we have a duty of care to safeguard confidentiality. The only rare exception to this is if we thought that the young person was at serious risk of harm to themselves or others.
If you have already had contact with other clinicians at The Evolving Mind following on from assessment, you may have received ongoing feedback and communication from them. However, Counselling is unique in the way that information is kept private between the client and the counsellor, unless there is a serious risk of harm.
