1) During an online counselling intake, a client says, “I am staying in another city this week, but I do not want to give any local contact or emergency address.” What is the best informed-consent response?

The client has past panic attacks and sometimes becomes unreachable after sessions.

2) A client states, “Tomorrow I am going to wait outside my manager’s house and make him pay for what he did.” Which response best protects confidentiality while addressing safety?

The manager is identifiable, the client has the address, and the anger appears intense and specific.

3) A client asks the counsellor to accept a social-media follow request, saying, “I share healing quotes there; it will help you understand me better.” What is the most ethical boundary response?

The client also says refusal may feel like rejection.

4) A client requests counselling for “voices giving instructions,” three nights without sleep, and recent impulsive spending. The counsellor is trained in basic counselling skills but not in psychiatric assessment. What is the best scope-of-practice decision?

The client asks for only motivational counselling and refuses to see a doctor because of fear of stigma.

5) A mother calls the centre and says, “My 22-year-old son is your client. Tell me what he discussed yesterday; I paid the fee.” What is the best privacy response?

The son has not signed any consent to share information with his family.

6) A trainee counsellor realises after a session that they forgot to explain fees, cancellation policy, note keeping and confidentiality limits before starting work. What is the best ethical repair?

The client has already shared sensitive family information and has booked a second session.
