it is harder to deal with this sort of suspicion when the person involved 
is an adult - you have more recourses open to you with children.  The best 
I can suggest is providing her with literature about health care that just 
happens include something on seeking counselling.  Make sure the literature 
stresses that everything will be treated in a professional and confidential 
manner.
good luck
