Confidentiality is a cornerstone of the therapeutic relationship in counselling, particularly within the context of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Counsellors are obligated to protect their clients' personal data, ensuring that any information shared during sessions remains private and secure. Under GDPR, clients have the right to know how their data is collected, stored, and used, granting them greater control over their personal information. This legal framework mandates that counsellors obtain explicit consent from clients before processing their data and implementing appropriate security measures to prevent unauthorised access. By adhering to these regulations, counsellors not only comply with legal requirements but also build trust with their clients, fostering a safe environment conducive to open dialogue and emotional healing.
