When you choose to speak with a counsellor, you're placing a deep trust in them - sharing thoughts, feelings, and experiences that may never have been spoken aloud before. We don’t take that lightly.
That’s why everything we do is guided by the BACP Ethical Framework - a set of professional standards that helps ensure counselling is safe, respectful, and grounded in integrity. It’s not just a set of rules; it’s a commitment to how we show up for you.
This framework shapes how we:
- Protect your privacy and confidentiality, so you feel safe to speak freely.
- Make ethical decisions, especially when things feel complex or emotionally charged.
- Continue our professional development, because learning never stops - and you deserve the best support we can offer.
We believe that counselling should be a space where you feel truly seen and heard, without judgment. The Ethical Framework helps us create that space, session by session.
If you're curious about how this framework works in practice - or how it supports your wellbeing - we’re always happy to talk more.
