Longterm MNer but have name changed because I don't want this connected to other threads.
My young adult DC had some counselling at their request, to address anxieties about leaving school and moving on to uni etc. Counsellor was well recommended and seems to have helped.
I did not ask what was discussed as this was their space to discuss what was on their mind. My interactions with the counsellor were limited to scheduling appointments, being a taxi, and paying for the sessions.
DC is now away at uni and is exploring gender identity. As they are an adult this is their choice and I am seeking to support them in a neutral way. However it would be very helpful to understand if the therapist's professional approach is to take an affirmative or explorative/neutral approach to this issue if it is raised by a client.
Does anyone know if I can ask this? I was not the client, and I am concerned that the Counsellor will think I am asking them to breach confidentiality, and I don't want to put them in that position.
