People have many different motivations for coming to psychological counselling & Therapy. Some may be going through a major life transition (unemployment, divorce, new job, etc.), or are not handling stressful circumstances well. Some people need assistance managing a range of other issues such as low self-esteem, depression, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems, spiritual conflicts and creative blocks. Therapy can help provide some much-needed encouragement and help with skills to get them through these periods. Others may be at a point where they are ready to learn more about themselves or want to be more effective with their goals in life.

Confidentiality is one of the most important components between a client and counselling Psychologists & Therapists. Successful psychological counselling & Therapy requires a high degree of trust with highly sensitive subject matter that is usually not discussed anywhere but the counselling Psychologists & Therapists 's office. Every counselling Psychologists & Therapists should provide a written copy of their confidential disclosure agreement, and you can expect that what you discuss in session will not be shared with anyone. This is called “Informed Consent”. Sometimes, however, you may want your counselling Psychologists & Therapists to share information or give an update to someone on your healthcare team (your Physician, Naturopath, Attorney), but by law your therapist cannot release this information without obtaining your written permission.

However, state law and professional ethics require therapists to maintain confidentiality except for the lawful situations.
