Answer: I will obey the subpoena order if it is because of criminal charges that it is being requested for but if it is because of the ex- husband of my clients to gain one or two from the divorce, I will respectfully decline but consult with my client and unless by client my client says otherwise.
Explanation: as a counsellor , I owe it to my client to keep everything said during all her session confidential and should not be disclosed to anyone except by her permission. Giving my client sessions without her consent makes me quity also by the law and also makes me lack credibility. My primary duty is to my client and as a counselor I have to maintain confidentiality.
I will read through the subpoena again and find out what they are really asking for and even seek advice if necessary.
