The concept ''intimac y" in counselling is a complex though sensitive one. In this article the concept is defined and two opposing views presented about intimacy between the client and the helping professional in the counselling relationship. The effects of intimacy between clients and helping professionals are considered and some of the ethical/legal implications discussed. Finally the author examines the reasons for the silence surrounding the phenomenon and recommendations are made to prevent misconduct.
