1) A company has paid for an employee’s counselling and asks for session content. What is the best ethical response?

An HR manager emails the counsellor: “We paid the fee. Send us what he said in counselling and whether he blamed the manager.” The employee has not given written permission for disclosure.

2) A 16-year-old client discloses recent self-harm and begs for secrecy. What should the counsellor prioritise?

The client says, “I cut myself last night. Please do not tell my parents; I will never come again if you tell them.” The counsellor wants to protect safety without breaking the alliance unnecessarily.

3) A client asks the counsellor to publicly comment on their therapy post. Which intervention best protects boundaries and privacy?

A popular social-media influencer client posts, “My counsellor changed my life,” tags the centre and messages: “Please comment so people know therapy works.”

4) In group counselling, one member threatens another member outside the session. What is the best ethical judgement?

During a group session, one participant whispers to the counsellor, “After this meeting I will wait for him near the parking area. Do not tell the group.”

5) A client involved in a custody dispute asks the counsellor to delete all notes. What is the most ethical response?

The client says, “My spouse may drag you into court. Please destroy all records today and write a new note saying I was always calm.”

6) A client brings a cousin as interpreter but later appears uncomfortable. What should the counsellor do first?

The client speaks limited English and arrives with a cousin to translate. When domestic abuse is mentioned, the client becomes silent and looks at the cousin before answering.
