It is essential that discussions in counselling and therapy are confidential, and that client privacy is protected.
All discussions in counselling are confidential, although there are some legal exceptions that will be explained at your first meeting. We follow the Ontario Association of Social Workers and Social Service Workers(OCSWSSW) code of professional ethics. All client records are protected and no client information is shared with any third party. Exceptions to this policy may occur only where necessary to protect the safety of clients or others. We will not contact clients on any telephone number or at any address if explicitly asked not to. Please be assured that all communication will be in the strictest confidence
