- At Evergreen Counselling Collective, the information you share during your session stays between you and your therapist. Limits to Confidentiality The only thing that takes precedence over confidentiality is safety. There are four limits to confidentiality where your counsellor is legally (and ethically) obligated to report to the appropriate authorities: - Intent to harm yourself or others; - If there is risk of harm to a child and/or dependent; - If you disclose abuse caused at the hands of a licensed professional (i.e. a doctor or counsellor); - If your therapist's notes are subpoenaed for court.
