Clinical Counsellors must possess the necessary skills, training and expertise to identify sources of emotional turmoil for you to feel secure in taking such a leap with them.

Is Clinical counselling an effective and safe option for everyone?

We must acknowledge that therapy carries certain risks. As we delve into our conversations, we may explore truths and insights that are initially hard to absorb. Nevertheless, these steps will ultimately lead to a better understanding of ourselves and our emotions.

When we confront grief and loss directly, it can induce powerful emotions of sadness, rage, and despair, which we may have been taught to ignore in our day-to-day lives. While complicated feelings are not necessarily unsafe, they require us to work through them.

Therapists must be educated in trauma-informed techniques, particularly for those with acute symptoms or a PTSD diagnosis, as powerful and difficult emotions can be dangerous. This helps to ensure the risk of re-traumatization is minimized and managed carefully.

Ultimately, Clinical Counselling can lead to changes in our behaviour that may be unsettling. For instance, if you decide to abandon a habit that is compulsively or addictively driven – although this could benefit your life greatly- it might still come as quite an alarm and require some adjustment on your end.

Is Clinical counselling an effective and safe option for everyone?

Under the utmost confidentiality, clinical Counsellors will never reveal their clients’ identities or what is discussed during therapy sessions. Unless presented with an official Court subpoena, records are strictly confidential and cannot be viewed by others – not even friends, family members, doctors, lawyers, or police officers! If someone tries to call a Counsellor/Clinic asking for information about a client’s visits and treatment plans, they will be denied such knowledge immediately.

INFORMED CONSENT TO CLINICAL COUNSELLING

Taking informed consent from a client before beginning clinical Counselling is an essential first step to ensure the safety and well-being of both parties. Failing to do so could make the counsellor legally responsible for any unfortunate consequences that arise after that.

For any consent to be considered “truly informed,” the individual must comprehensively understand the treatment being given. This includes having ample knowledge about its process and potential outcomes.

The clinical counsellor must ensure that the client is equipped with all the essential information, including how it will benefit them and any potential risks. To do this effectively, they should provide an opportunity for questions and offer detailed answers tailored to address the individual’s worries.

Before granting informed consent, a counsellor must provide the client with all pertinent information for them to make an educated decision – what a reasonable person in their particular situation needs to know about the proposed services.

Before commencing any clinical Counselling services, the client must be provided with pertinent information regarding their condition or situation, the proposed services, and the potential risks and benefits of those services. It is also important that they are informed of all viable options, including not taking any action.

In addition, a clinical counsellor must convey to their client in a manner that matches the client’s aptitude, capability, and dialect.

In most cases, a counsellor can assume that each adult client can provide, decline or cancel consent for clinical counselling services.

Should the counsellor determine that an adult client cannot consent due to mental or physical impairment, psychological distress, or emotional incapacity, they must obtain authorization from a designated substitute decision-maker.

Legally, any client younger than 19 years old who is mature enough to understand the therapy can consent to the treatment entirely. In such situations, a child’s permission can be granted without informing or getting approval from either of their parents/guardians.

Gaining consent from the client is not enough; it’s merely the start of a long process. Throughout their counselling relationship, the counsellor must check that informed consent has been given and remains valid.

When circumstances alter significantly, as the nature of counselling services strays from what was approved or a new treatment approach is proposed, counsellors must ask for their client’s permission again. Thus, it’s best to seek re-informed consent when in doubt.
