GPiA042: Talking About Suicide Risk with Clients in the Counselling Professions
Abstract
Clients presenting in therapy with suicidal thoughts or plans who may be at risk of suicide can be challenging for even the most experienced practitioner. Understanding the client’s experience of thoughts about suicide , knowing how best to respond in the therapeutic relationship, and ultimately making collaborative decisions, wherever possible, about the implications for confidentiality, pose difficult dilemmas for practitioners. This updated good practice guidance supports counsellors and psychotherapists in the UK in their work with suicidal clients.
