However, in \n circumstances where it is believed that a client could either be a danger to themselves \n or others, or in danger of being harmed by another, then it would be necessary to \n communicate and seek support from outside agencies. In addition to this, confidentiality \n could also be broken if a client discloses that he/she intends to or has committed a \n serious crime. However, all efforts would be made to discuss this with a client, parent or \n carer first. I do not disclose the identity of a client when discussing work with my \n supervisor.","bbox":{"left":0.121429,"top":0.33173,"width":0.781884,"height":0.14703799999999995}},{"text":"COUNSELLING SESSIONS","bbox":{"left":0.121429,"top":0.495626,"width":0.255496,"height":0.01592199999999999}},{"text":"Counselling sessions last for fifty minutes and are usually held weekly at a fixed time and \n location.
