 INFORMED CONSENT FORM

Individual Counselling

Client’s Name: Layla Azizah Ahmad

This informed consent document is intended to provide general information about the counseling services
provided by Management & Science University under-graduate student. This is a legal document; please
read it carefully before signing.

• Nature of Counseling: The type and extent of services that I/my child will receive will be determined
following an initial assessment and through discussion with me. I understand that there may be both benefits
and risks associated with participation in counseling. Counseling may improve ability to relate to others,
provide a clearer understanding of self, values, and goals, and an ability to deal with everyday stress. I
understand that counseling may also lead to unanticipated feelings and change, which might have an
unexpected impact on me/my child and my/my child’s relationships.

• Supervision: I understand that Ahmad Farhan Haikal (full legal name ofcounselor-in-training):
o is currently under training his/her Degree in Counseling and Guidance at Management & Science
University. In order to improve his/her skills, he/she is required to complete a practicum and two
internships.
o is currently under the direction of a site supervisor that is required to have a minimum of a master’s degree;
preferably in a counseling, or a related profession with relevant certifications and/or licenses; a minimum
of two years of pertinent professional experience; knowledge of MSU’s counseling program requirements,
expectations, and evaluation procedures; and relevant counseling supervision training.
o is currently supervised by a site supervisor at MSU (agency) and a Management & Science University
faculty supervisor.

• Confidentiality: I understand that counselors maintain confidentiality in accordance with the ethical
guidelines and legal requirements of their profession. Effective counseling, however, sometimes requires
that confidential information be shared with other staff members, professors, or graduate students who are
training at Management & Science University. When confidential information must be shared, pseudonyms
(false names) are used to protect the identity of the client. I understand that no records or information about
me will be released outside Management & Science University without my permission, except under certain
circumstances: if I/my child present/presents a serious danger to self or other person(s); if there is a suspicion
or actual incident of child abuse or neglect; or a valid subpoena is issued for my/my child’s records, or
my/my child’s records are otherwise subject to a court order or other legal process requiring disclosure.

8
 • Video/Audio Recording of Counseling Sessions: I understand that the Management &
Science University counselor-in-training routinely records counseling sessions. I
understand that such recordings will only be used for educational purposes and that the
professors and/or students involved will respect and protect the confidential nature of the
sessions. It is understood that the recordings will be confidential and only reviewed for
supervision or educational purposes and will subsequently be erased by the counselor-in-
training within 90 days or at the end of the semester, whichever comes first. I understand
that because these are digital recordings, confidentiality is limited by the secureness of the
technology being used to store them. All efforts are made to keep recordings confidential
but the possibility of unforeseen technological events mean that confidentiality cannot be
absolutely guaranteed. I understand that all such recordings are property of the Management
& Science University.

If I have any questions regarding this consent form or about the services offered, I
understand that I maydiscuss them with my counselor-in-training or his/her site supervisor.

I have read and I understand the above. I understand that treatment may be stopped at
any time and there are no penalties for denying permission. I hereby consent to:

permit myself/my child to participate in the above-described counseling activities

ONLY without
recording it;OR
I permit audio or video recording of the counseling sessions.
