ETHICS & STANDARDS FOR COUNSELLORS

From our National Seminar on Mental Health (NSMH-04) — organised by Manovikas with the Institute of Human Behaviour and Allied Sciences (IHBAS) and approved by the Rehabilitation Council of India — a reflection on what ethical counselling practice asks of us.

ETHICS & STANDARDS FOR COUNSELLORS

WHAT MAKES A GREAT COUNSELLOR?

Willingness to listen patiently, and maintain a strong therapeutic rapo, exhibit concern (empathise), be persistent (energy) and work with clients on mutually agreed goals are essential qualities of a counsellor.

If the counsellor is truly a wound healer, he or she may well go beyond what would be considered exemplary practice because of increased sensitivity and understanding of what it feels like to be hurt and what it takes to heal.

To identify Counseling Skills of counsellors.

To discuss professional code of ethics in counselling.

To choose strategies for personal and professional self evaluation and implications for practice.
