Areas Description
The Counseling Relationships
1. Client welfare Counselor’s primary responsibility
is to respect the dignity and
promote the welfare of clients.
They are also expected to
encourage client’s growth.
Counselors and clients are expected
to work together in crafting
individual counseling plans
consistent with the client’s
circumstances.
2. Respecting Diversity Counselors do not engage in
discrimination based on age, color,
culture, disability, ethnic group,
gender, race, religion, sexual
orientation, marital status and socio
economic status. Counselors shall
respect differences and understand
the diverse cultural backgrounds of
their clients.
3. Client Rights Counselors shall disclose the
purposes, goals, techniques,
procedures, limitations, potential
risks, benefits of the services to be
performed and other pertinent
information to the client throughout
the counseling process. Counselors
offer clients the freedom to choose
whether to enter into a counseling
relationship and determine which
professional will provide
counseling, except when the client
is unable to give consent.
4. Clients Served by others In cases where the client is
receiving services from another
mental health professional, with
clients consent, inform the
professional person already
involved to develop an agreement.
5. Personal Needs and values Maintain the clients and avoid
actions that seek to meet their
personal needs at the expense of the
clients. Counselors shall be aware
of their values, attitudes, beliefs,
and behavior and how these apply
in a diverse society and avoid
imposing their values on clients.
6. Dual Relationships Counselors are aware of their
influential position over their
clients avoid the exploiting the trust
and dependency of the clients.
Counselors should not accept as
superiors or subordinates clients’.
7. Sexual Intimacies with Clients Counselors should not have any
type of sexual intimacies with
clients and do not counsel persons
with whom they have sexual
relationship. Counselors should not
also engage with sexual intimacies
with their former clients within a
minimum of two years.
8. Multiple Clients In cases where counselors agree to
provide counseling services to two
or more persons who have a
relationship, counselors clarify at
the outset which person or persons
are clients and the nature of
relationship they will have with
each other involved person.
9. Group Work Counselors screen prospective
group counseling / therapy
participants to determine those with
compatible needs. In group setting,
counselors take reasonable
precautions to protect clients from
physical or psychological trauma.
10. Fees Prior to entering the counseling
relationship, the counselors clearly
explain the clients all financial
arrangements related to
professional fees.
Areas Description
Confidentiality
1.Right to Privacy Counselors respect a client’s right
to privacy and avoid illegal and
unwarranted disclosures of
unwarranted information.
The right to privacy may be
waived by the clients or their
legally recognized representative.
The general requirement that the
counselors keep the information
confidential does not apply when
disclosure is required to prevent
clear and imminent danger to the
client or others or when legal
requirements demand that
confidential information is be
revealed.
Counselors who received
information confirming that a client
has a disease known to be
communicable and fatal is justified
in disclosing information to an
identifiable third party, who by
his/her relationship with the client
is at high risk of contracting the
disease.
When court orders the counselors
to release confidential information
without client’s permit, counselors
request to the court that the
disclosure should not be required
due to potential harm to client or
counseling relationship.
