Working with Professionalism

This is a huge area when we think about it, so where does one start?

Here I would like to just focus on boundaries of ones ethical status in terms of Awarding Bodies, Training and Insurance.  The reason for this blog in the first place is because of a number of observed incidences in operation,

So an Awarding Body is there to:

• Guide and protect and ensuring standards are met, after all that is why there are there!
• Make sure that there members are trained to the level they say they are.
• Have valid insurances to cover that.
• Work within the Ethical Framework.
• Providing Support for you, whilst;
• Protecting clients!
• Accountability and Credibility

Insurances
It is amazing to see that some people will try and escape having insurance, but it is there to protect all sides! 
We all hear about the driver's for example who drove a car without insurance and then went and crashed causing injury.  The irresponsibility in the first place, of driving without insurance is the negative aspect.  In just the same way we have heard cases of therapists not insuring themselves.

Training and Experience 
If one make claims of being trained or experienced in anything, they could potentially invalidate their insurance and loose their membership status.

It took me 5 years to train as a psychotherapist, 3 years for hypnotherapy and 2 years as a life coach.  On top of that I have trained in the Spiritual arts with Masters from around the World, such as Akashic Records Training, Shamanic Practitioner Training and Aurora Training, amongst various others.

If you have had experiences of anything around these concerns, it is important to notify the relevant bodies eg Awarding Body, Training School etc.

Generally most people will work ethically and safely, however, you will find that we get a bad apple every so often and it can be upsetting and unsettling for the rest of us!
