Working Ethically in Counselling and Psychotherapy

Working Ethically in Counselling and Psychotherapy How to proactively protect your clients and practice. As counsellors and psychotherapists, it is easy to go the extra mile to support our clients. This innate drive to help, especially within the context of an established therapeutic relationship, can inadvertently expose our clients and our practice to risks. Counsellors and psychotherapists can encounter challenging situations where third parties like family members, regulatory agencies, and the law are involved. Working to an ethics framework can help us make transparent, responsible, and effective decisions; decisions that account for the wellbeing of all parties. An ethics framework frees us to focus on doing what we do best. This full day professional training workshop will equip you with the background understanding, practical know-how, and industry-proven tools to set up and maintain a protective ethics framework for your counselling and psychotherapy practice. During this workshop, you will: Examine the key elements of ethics in counselling & pscyhotherapy and the various relevant ethical codes.
