else.
2) If you tell me that you intend to assist or commit an act of
terrorism.
3) In the very rare situation when I could be ordered by a court to

I do this, I will not reveal your name or any other details which could
identify you.
Q6 What is a Counselling Supervisor?
A6 All practising Counsellors in the U.K. are
required to see a Counselling Supervisor regularly. This benefits you
as it ensures that I receive the necessary support to enable me to
offer the best service to my clients. If you are discussed, I will not
identify your name or reveal any other details which could identify you.
