I remember not telling my GP when i first told him about feeling ill. I waited a month before i said i self harmed. he couldnt understand why i didnt say anything and was lovely about it. My cpn was a little shocked due to my age.
Remember SH is primarily a teen thing in the eyes of most. This could be one reason for it not being mentioned. Secondly as an adult we are more responsible for out actions and seen to be able to take care of ourselves and also have no one to answer for. Therefore they perhaps wont be as thorough in asking as there is no one that needs to know (parents etc).
Finally, counselling is for you and no one else. Its up to you what you tell them. If you want to tell them then do so. If not then dont.
