Areas Counsellors Don’t Work in:
Medico-Legal Reports: If you are involved in a court case now or in the forseeable future and you require a psychological evaluation or report then look for a 'Forensic Psychologist' or someone who specialises in court reporting. This works out better for you as you will start with someone experienced in that area who can give you good advice from the beginning.

Clients must also give written consent for breaking confidentiality clause.

Full payment is required before we are able to release the document to you.
