I am a male mental health therapist (counselor). Many a times i get female patients. Am i allowed to counsel them keeping in mind the following:
1. There are female counselors available but the patient prefers me
2. Bearing in mind we are usually alone without a chaperone - however sessions are recorded for research purpose.
3. Hijab is always maintained (distance, head covering etc).
Your guidance on this matter, and any additional suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
