Yes, therapy in Lebanon is confidential by both law and ethics. Every licensed psychologist is bound to protect client privacy, ensuring that what you share in therapy stays between you and your therapist. At Cognitive Analytica, we take this responsibility further, upholding the highest standards of discretion, data protection, and respect for your autonomy, in every session, whether online or in person.
Confidentiality is the cornerstone of effective therapy. It means that everything you discuss with your therapist, your thoughts, emotions, history, and struggles, is kept private and never shared without your explicit consent. This ethical duty allows you to speak openly without fear of judgment or exposure.
In Lebanon, all licensed psychologists and psychotherapists follow professional codes aligned with international standards such as the American Psychological Association’s ethical guidelines. These standards are designed to build trust and ensure emotional safety. To make sure your therapist follows these rules, it’s essential to work with a licensed professional, learn more about this process in How to Find the Right Therapist in Lebanon.
Therapy confidentiality in Lebanon is protected under both Lebanese mental health regulations and the ethical codes of the Lebanese Syndicate of Psychotherapists and Psychologists (LSPP). These frameworks make it illegal for therapists to disclose client information except in specific, rare circumstances.
These exceptions include cases where:
There’s a clear risk of serious harm to yourself or others.
There’s evidence of child or elder abuse that must be reported by law.
A court order legally compels the therapist to release limited information.
Even in such cases, clients are always informed before any information is disclosed. Transparency and dialogue are part of ethical practice. If privacy concerns ever make you uncomfortable, you can always bring them up with your therapist, or explore your comfort level by reading Can I Switch Therapists If It Doesn’t Feel Right?.
