Depends on your age, the state you live in and the laws that are depending on this.
Most counselors will and must report abuse.
Any forms of hitting uncontrollably, physical and/or mental abuse, or what they think to be mental abuse, and/or sexual abuse that is mentioned in these counselor meetings. That is their jobs if they don't .
They also must mention it to the law whether or not it is your immediate family doing the abuse, babysitter, uncles, aunts, sister or brother, etc.. friend, neighbor, etc.. they will have to report it to law enforcement and you will be not returned in most cases to your parents, and/or the members that are caring for you, whether it be foster parents etc.. until they make sure it is not involving any other family members you live with and/or they have knowledge of it and are allowing this.
If you are seeing a counselor and you want to divulge something like this, then your best bet is to ask what are the consequences if you divulge such information on this topic.
What are the things that will happen and what happens if this is mentioned.
Usually all counselors at the VERY FIRST MEETING! are to tell the mother, father and children involved in the counseling meetings what they will tell CPS or DHS in your state, according to guidelines and what they won't divulge or tell CPS and/or DHS or a state representatives and/or authorities.. for the most part YES they have to keep everything you say is kept quiet and confidential.. it is illegal for them to tell everything even in court, and the notes they take are not enough to make sense anyways... so don't worry of someone finding their notes either.
In order to keep confidentiality, you have to make sure that confidential items are not left out for anyone to see. You can also keep confidentiality by not telling anyone confidential things.
How do you keep information on families and children confidential
In daycare you should keep things confidential for the safety of the child. You wouldn't want anybody telling your business. PROFESSIONAL! It is also a good way to protect feelings. Some people can get sued by breaking the confidentiality.
there are many teachers who are councilors as well.

Keep the information to myself
"It is important to keep your real name and address confidential when using social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter."
