I don't believe in the unfettered right of a therapy client to do and say whatever they want in therapy, unless that is agreed upon by both client and therapist.

Except unlike in most relationships, the therapist only gets to set dealbreakers that don't interfere with their professional responsibility. A therapist doesn't get to decide they don't want to talk about suicidality any any more than it would be acceptable for a cardiologist to decide they don't want to hear about chest pain.
