Ethical Standards I Follow in My Work. My work is guided by professional ethical standards set by the National Council of Integrative Psychotherapists (NCIP), a UK body that as well defines how therapy should be conducted safely, respectfully, and responsibly.
In practice, this means:
Your well-being comes firstYour interests, safety, and autonomy are always the priority.
Clear boundaries and respectOur work stays professional, respectful, and free from any form of exploitation or pressure.
Confidentiality and privacyYour information is handled with care, within clear legal and ethical limits.
Transparency from the beginningYou receive clear information about the process, methods, and conditions before we start.
Work within competenceI only use methods I am trained in, and refer further if something else would be more appropriate.
Ongoing supervision and developmentMy work is regularly reviewed and supported through professional supervision and continued training.
Ethical communication and honestyNo exaggerated claims — only approaches grounded in evidence and best clinical practice.
Respect for diversityAll clients are treated equally, regardless of background, identity, or life situation.
