Our Ethics
1. Informed Consent
We regard counseling as always voluntary. Thus you have the freedom to choose whether to enter into or remain in a counseling relationship and ask for adequate information about the counseling process and the counsellor. Counselling can be done only if the client is willing for the session. If the client decides to end the session well before the time, we will accept their decision and not pressurise them to continue the session. We have provided all the information about counsellor in the website itself. Please not that Counselling may have both potential risks and benefits.
2. Respect for Privacy / Confidentiality
We respect your rights to privacy irrespective of the client’s age. We are not supposed to influence you with our personal values and judgments. We do not share confidential information without your consent or without sound legal/ethical justification.
3. Developmental and Cultural Sensitivity
We communicate information in ways that are both developmentally and culturally appropriate. When you have difficulty understanding the language used by us, we provide necessary services to ensure comprehension by clients. We recognize that culture affects the manner in which your problems are defined. Your socio-economic and cultural experiences are considered while doing counselling
4. Counselor’s Competence and Referral
When we feel that we are not able to help the clients and lack in competence, we will refer the clients to competent professionals.
5. No Dual Relationship
The relationship between us and you has to be a professional relationship alone. Any other personal relationship such as friend, relative and life partner is strictly prohibited.
6. Non-discrimination
We do not condone or engage in discrimination based on age, gender, culture, disability, ethnicity, caste, religion and sexual orientation.
7. Abandonment Prohibited
We do not abandon or neglect clients in counseling. We assist in making appropriate arrangements for the continuation of treatment when necessary.
