The inference is that only an Angel could tolerate working with or for a person with a disability. “I don’t know how you do it. You are an Angel for taking care of that person.” It’s demeaning to the person with a disability. It’s belittling. Are you an Angel for working as a Barista at Starbucks ? No? Why not ? What if we replace the person with a disability with an ethnicity ? Does that have the same feel to you? Do we only recognize patronization & ignorant statements in Certain circumstances that exclude people with disabilities ? You are such an Angel for working with that person ___________. Fill in the blank. Does that seem like it would be a compliment ?

One of the main aims of counselling is to “help stop us from feeling like a victim of circumstances, to feeling like we have some control over our lives.” -Hetty Einzig
What do we do?
Counselling and psychotherapy is a contractual arrangement in which a qualified individual meets a person, one to one and in confidence, to help the person explore the distress this person may be experiencing. This can be a multitude of things, that is stopping you from living your life. This may be a difficulty, dissatisfaction with life, or loss of sense of direction or purpose.
Confidentiality
Counselling depends on a trust and in this case, trust requires confidentiality. You and your counsellor will work within a confidential relationship where what you talk about to your counsellor will stay between the both of you, and won’t go any further than the both of you. There are a few exceptions where confidentiality would need to be broken, but only if the counsellor feels that a young person is seriously at risk, or you are at risk to yourself or others.
Your counsellor will discuss with you in the first session, the problem or concern in question with, and make a confidentiality agreement. There may be an occasion where you ask your counsellor to speak to someone else about your work or progress in counselling. For this to happen, you will need to give your counsellor permission. The reason for this is without your written permission, your counsellor will not confirm you are working with a counsellor to anyone.
