Hi, I'm in Australia. The only reason that they are allowed to break confidentiality is if they think that you are at risk of harming yourself or someone else (SI is not usually counted).

It depends on the counsellor you are seeing, usually they will not want to do anything to jepordise your relationship, but if they feel that you are in immediate danger and you haven't been able to work out a solution between you they may feel like they have to tell someone to keep you safe.

Like smurf said, talk to them and ask them directly. I've found this to be the best approach.

Hope something in this was helpful I know I repeated a lot but since I'm an Aussie thought I would reply =]

take care xxx
