This isn't possible since it's required by law for your parents to know,however if you feel the desire to get therapy or council in you could the get the courage to talk to your parents (after all for your own benifit) or talk to a counselor at school and ask for them not to send a confidentiality request when wanting to speak to them,everyone has they're bad times in the end what we can do to help ourselves is tell someone and get help

There are many ways, a popular way is through the internet. Telepsycholgists and therapists are popular, but counselors at school are useful in this endeavor as well.

Theres no real way. A huge part about talking to a therapists is having people that care about you around. I've tried to find so many ways, and eventually found out its literally impossible. Emotionally, and the fact that I cant pay alone

Often, schools have counsellors or nurses that will be happy to help, you could also make an appointment with your GP to discuss different options ❤

If you currently go to school, you can talk to teachers or your nurse to discuss options for therapy. You can, sometimes, do this without your parents being informed. However, I would urge you to try and speak out to your parents - they are normally the most supportive and loving when times are tough.

Let them know you have a study group, or a new extra curricular activity, and every time you leave for the appointment... use that as the deter.

Depending on legislation in any particular country or jurisdictions, a young person can access doctors and therapists in their own right from a reasonable age. It is around 13-14 in my State of Australia. These services are bound to confidentiality, so unless what you share indicates abuse or neglect towards yourself or another person, what you share in confidential between you and the professional. They legally can't disclose any private information to your parents or anyone else without your consent.

It depends on your age unfortunately, if you are thinking about speaking to a therapist outside of school then you will need to be 16 to be able to speak to them without parental permission. If you are thinking about talking to a school counsellor than a parent does not need to be informed if you are not at risk of harming yourself or others. I hope this helps.
Have a helpful insight? Don’t keep it to yourself.
Sharing helps others and its therapeutic for you.
