The Counselling Service works within the ethical framework for good practice of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP).

As part of good professional practice the counsellors will discuss their work with external supervisors who also work within the BACP ethical framework. A copy of the BACP Good Practice Framework is available on the BACP Website.

The counselling service provides statistical information regarding the number of people using the service and general themes that emerge. This is done in such a way as not to identify any individual, team or department in the Trust.
