WHAT TO EXPECT
When you call to make an inquiry about counselling and to set up an appointment you will receive completely confidential support, information and assistance. 

When we first speak, I will ask you questions to assess your situation, your risk level, and needs to ensure that telephone counselling is appropriate for meeting your concerns. You will have a chance to ask me questions about counselling.

If I am not available, you can leave a message on my confidential voicemail and I will return your call within 48 hours.   Call 416 385-1557

CONFIDENTIALITY
Confidentiality is a significant component of counselling.  Information discussed will be held in confidence and will not be released to anyone unless you sign a "release of information" form.  However, I am legally and professionally obligated to release information under the following conditions:

a. If I am subpoenaed by a court of law.

b. If a child or adult gives me information indicating concerns about abuse (physical, emotional or sexual abuse or neglect), I am obligated to report this information to the Children's Aid Society. 

c. If you give me information that leads me to believe you will harm yourself or someone else, I may have to inform the necessary authority to ensure that you do neither.
