I think that because you are 16 they have to keep these things confidential unless they think you are a danger to yourself. eg. if you were going to act on these suicidal thoughts or if they believe you are not capable of making decisions yourself.
But you should be ok and able to keep things confidential. It might also reassure you if before you disclosed anything you ask the GP/counselor about the confidentiality policy to reassure you?
