Professional Ethics

Counsellors are professionally trained and aim for excellence in their work.

This means we will:

• treat you with respect and confidentiality (see below)
• listen to you and make sure we hear and understand you
• help you clarify what you would like to change in your life
• support you through the process of change
• have regular supervision of our work by an experienced professional counsellor
• abide by the Code of Ethics of the New Zealand Association of Counsellors

 

CONFIDENTIALITY

What you share with us is confidential.  However, where we have reason to believe you are in danger of harming yourself or someone else, further help will be sought.  In this event we would make every effort to discuss the matter with you before taking any action.
