If so a parent or guardian can give consent for this.

Really? I'm in the U.S. had to sign consent forms to allow my T, marriage counselor, and p-doc to communicate with each other, and they're in the same practice. And they said I could revoke that permission at any time. (My T also clears with me first that it's OK to bring up certain topics with them, which I really appreciate.)
I'm guessing for Eden, it's because you're a minor or because rules are different there. Or maybe you signed something early on with a bunch of paperwork and didn't really think about it.
