Professional Counseling Standards

Professional Counseling Standards are guidelines that ensure counselors provide effective, ethical, and competent services to clients. These standards cover various aspects, including client confidentiality, informed consent, and professional qualifications. They promote practices that prioritize the well-being and rights of clients, ensuring that counselors are trained and adhere to ethical codes. By following these standards, counselors work to build trust and establish a safe environment for clients to explore their feelings and challenges, ultimately supporting their mental health and personal growth.
