Clients need to be able to participate freely as they work with practitioners of the counselling professions towards their desired goals. This requires clients to be able to trust their practitioner with their wellbeing and sensitive personal information.

 

As a member of the BACP, I take being trustworthy as a serious ethical commitment. This includes the following commitment to clients :

1. Put clients first

2. Work to professional standards

3. Show respect

4. Build an appropriate relationship with clients

5. Maintain integrity

6. Demonstrate accountability and candour
