It is important for the members of the College community and parents/guardians to understand that counselling is confidential in nature and the information regarding counselling sessions cannot be released without a student's written permission.

Since a good therapeutic relationship in counselling depends upon a trusting relationship between student and counsellor, the Counselling Centre is committed to insuring that information resulting from counselling contacts is held in strict confidence.

No information is released without the student’s permission, except in situations which legally and ethically require that confidentiality be breached.

These situations are as follows: knowledge of ongoing abuse or neglect of a minor or elderly; serious risk of suicide or harm to other individuals; and subpoena of information.

Counselling is done in a safe, comfortable and private environment. Students and parents are invited to contact us for further information.
