For parents & guardians
Consent for your child’s counselling.
For young people aged 13 to 17. Please complete this before the first session. It takes about 3 minutes.
What you’re agreeing to
- Your child will have online counselling with a registered MyTruth counsellor, by WhatsApp, Google Meet or Microsoft Teams.
- Confidentiality: what your child shares stays between them and their counsellor. Young people open up when they know it’s private.
- The exception is safety. If there is a serious risk to your child’s safety or someone else’s, the counsellor will act to keep them safe, and will involve you unless doing so would put your child at greater risk.
- You can withdraw consent at any time by emailing accounts@mytruth.co.za.
Counsellors who work with young people: Omashree Balie, Mimi Shirindza, Hèlet Boustred, Megan Andrew, Chris Theron, Risimati Chauke, Talita Kondlo, Jamie-Leigh Brickles, Elza Berk. Full details are in our terms (section 2) and privacy policy.
