1) A counsellor begins online counselling with a new client who will attend from a shared hostel room. What should be done before starting sensitive work?

The client says, “I am ready to talk, but my roommate may come in and out. It is okay, let us continue.”

2) A client asks, “Promise me you will never tell anyone, whatever I say.” Which response best protects both alliance and ethics?

The client appears anxious and says they may stop counselling unless the counsellor gives an absolute promise of secrecy.

3) A client asks the counsellor to write a court letter stating that the spouse has a personality disorder. What is the best ethical decision?

The counsellor has met only the client, has never assessed the spouse and has no forensic appointment from the court.

4) A client starts sending repeated late-night personal messages to the counsellor after sessions. What is the most ethical boundary response?

The messages include “You are the only one who understands me” and “Please reply now, I cannot sleep.” There is no immediate self-harm statement.

5) During counselling, a client reveals current abuse of a child at home but pleads for confidentiality. What should guide the counsellor’s best response?

The client says, “Do not report this. I only told you because I trust you.”

6) A client presents panic symptoms, severe sleeplessness and reports hearing voices giving commands. What is the best scope-of-practice decision?

The client says, “Please do only counselling. I do not want any referral.” The counsellor is not medically qualified.
