so he may achieve his goals.

community in which they work and live.
They should avoid doing harm, take
responsibility for their professional actions,
and adopt a systematic approach to resolving
ethical dilemmas.
Behave in professional activities in such a way
as not to damage clients interests or
undermine public confidence in the profession

They deal actively with conflicts of interest,
avoid exploiting others, and are alert to
inappropriate behaviour on the part of
colleagues.
Honesty and Accuracy:
Do not seek or accept fees or benefits beyond

A counsellor should be aware of the

responsibility to client vs. responsibility to
employing institution)
Recognise that it is not always possible to
avoid them. Where they become aware of
such conflicts, they clarify to all concerned the
nature of their loyalties and take appropriate
steps to safeguard clients' interests.
