Re: Advice on therapy/counselling? (Self-harm, substance abuse, suicidal thoughts) - March 20th 2017, 01:32 AM

I am not from the UK but from what I know the confidentiality rules are generally the same. The only time they can breach confidentiality is if you are a danger to yourself or others.

For example, if you are going to harm yourself and have a plan/date/are an imminent risk then they would breach confidentiality and, at least here, they usually just try and get you to agree to go to a psych hospital instead of resorting to notifying the authorities.
