I am afraid our marital secrets will leak if we see a counsellor. What do I do?

Confidentiality is the foundation of a qualified counsellor's work, and what you share in a session is protected. Start by asking about their confidentiality policy at the beginning of the session so your mind is at ease. Counsellors are bound by professional ethics not to disclose clients' affairs, except in certain situations such as when a life is in danger. If you are still unsure, choose a service far from your social circle so you feel more comfortable. Do not let this fear stop you from getting the help you need. Keeping problems in silence usually does more harm than the risk you are worried about. See counselling.
