Values

The Client

• Each client is a uniquely created person, with inherent abilities to find a way to live in their difficult situations.

• Each client comes to counselling in need of a safe space to tell their story. The manner and degree to which they share their story is in their hands and is not dictated by the counsellor.

• Each client brings with them their own individuality. Respecting this is part of the counselling work.

• Each client needs support in all areas of their life, how they think, what they feel and what they believe. Such a holistic approach is key to counselling work.

The Work

• The work of Prevail is to promote resilience in the clients. Resilience to live their life as best as possible regardless of the problems they face.

• I am bound by the code of practice for my accrediting organisations, The Irish Association of Counsellors and Psychotherapists https://iacp.ie/iacp-code-of-ethics

• The client’s needs come first. The counsellors thoughts about them are subservient to the clients needs.

• Putting client’s needs first means I will try to accomodate them re fees, bookings etc.

The Counsellor

• I am engage in ongoing training so as to keep myself professionally sharp, and to maintain my accreditation.

• I support myself through regular supervision and through personal care.

• Just as the client is deserving of my respect, so am I deserving of respect and personal space.
