Although your clinician will provide support, making personal changes can involve addressing unpleasant feelings and topics. Making such changes can be rewarding, significantly improving the quality of your life. Without treatment your concerns may resolve on their own, return periodically, stay the same, or even deteriorate. Your clinician can give you more information about the risks and benefits involved in you receiving or not receiving psychological treatment and counselling. Your clinician can also advise you on alternative methods for dealing with your concerns. In most circumstances, assessment and treatment are voluntary and you may refuse or withdraw at any time without prejudice. Your clinician will inform you if any exceptions to this apply and, if so, advise you of your options.
