Answers:
You don't have to tell your GP why you need a therapist!. Just ask if he or she could recommend a good psychologist for stress!. Period!.
Since you're a minor, unfortunately you don't have the same rights to confidentiality as an adult!. It's good to speak with your therapist AT THE INITIAL VISIT OR BEFORE how to handle the parents!. Some parents are fine with not asking, others want to know in detail!. For me, when I work with children, I tell the parents themes of what we worked on--never any specifics (unless there is imminent harm to self or others)!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I'm pretty sure it's confidential unless you threaten to hurt yourself or someone else in anyway!. But, since I'm not sure, you should just ask the one you end up going to!.
I would suggest you ask friends if they know any therapists (Like if they ever went to one and recommend them)
I guess if you don't want others to know, you can go on sites like http://www!.find-a-therapist!.com/Www@Answer-Health@Com
