Also, just to add, the client has a right to confidentiality and anonymity, a supervisor isn't meant to know full details of the therapists case load, usually the therapist just uses a first name or initials or something to distinguish between clients.
This I both understand and agree with. If it was planned that old therapist would supervise the situation (knowing GG was the client in question) and the client was not told of it - I would think that was quite wrong.

I do understand why real people (friends, lovers, family) care about each other. I asked my question about fairness and the OP answered. My question was not about caring.
