Associations
Professional Counselling
As a Professional Indigenous Counsellor, I believe that all clients should be aware of my counselling associations, both for insurance purposes, but also to familiarize yourselves with the level of ethical requirements that as professional counsellor, I am expected to work within. As an Indigneous woman from the North, who is also in this profession, the level of safety that may be cultivated from practiced ethical principles and standards is a paramount value of mine. Below you will find the associations Code of Ethics, along with the Standards of Practice that I follow. As a counselling client, you have rights to protect your mental health and that includes submitting a claim if you feel that I had acted in an unethical manner.
