My professional code of ethics, under the (Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers), outlines that all information shared with me is ‘confidential’ and it, therefore, will not be communicated, directly or indirectly, to anyone without your informed and written consent.
Confidentiality is, therefore, very important to me & all information obtained during our session will be kept private. Subsequently, just prior to you entering into our ‘counselling agreement’ your consent will be obtained & then we will proceed. But the law states that there are a few (rare exceptions) to (confidentiality) which we will discuss during our initial consultation. Therefore, if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me directly.
