In the world of psychotherapy, ethics and safety are not just regulatory requirements; they are the core of the therapist-client relationship. Establishing and maintaining high standards of ethical behavior and safety measures during sessions is essential to creating a safe and confidential environment in which clients can openly explore and resolve their issues. This trust is the foundation of the therapeutic relationship and enables deeper understanding, empathy and effective change. Ethics and safety are therefore not only a professional obligation, but also a moral imperative that protects both the therapist and the client, and ensures the integrity of the therapeutic process.

Ethics and safety during sessions

1. Any kind of violence, whether towards yourself or others, is not allowed during the sessions.
2. In the case of live therapy; respect for space and property is mandatory; it is not allowed to damage the premises, objects or furniture.
3. Attending the session under the influence of alcohol is strictly prohibited. This rule is not set to limit your freedom, but to ensure the safety and efficiency of the therapeutic process. Alcohol can significantly affect the ability to communicate and self-reflect, which are fundamental aspects of therapy. To ensure that the sessions are productive and provide you with the best possible support, it is important that you are present, aware and able to think clearly during the session. I understand that facing personal challenges can seem daunting at times, and that’s why I’m here to support you in a safe and open environment. If you ever feel overwhelmed or unsure, I encourage you to talk about it openly during the session.
4. Sessions are recorded exclusively for the purposes of supervision and self-supervision. I would like to kindly inform you about an important aspect of our therapeutic process. As part of my commitment to providing the highest quality service and continuous professional development, all of our sessions are recorded. This is a standard practice aimed exclusively at supervision and self-supervision. It is important to emphasize that the recording is carried out with the utmost discretion and respect for your privacy. The recordings are used solely for the purpose of improving the quality of the therapeutic work, allowing me as a therapist to gain valuable insight and feedback from my supervisors. This is essential to ensure that I provide you with the most effective support and assistance. This practice also contributes to my personal and professional development as a therapist, which directly affects the quality of therapy I provide to you. Please be assured that all recordings are kept with the highest degree of confidentiality and are used exclusively for educational purposes, within the framework of supervision.
   Your trust and comfort are of the utmost importance, and I am available to answer any questions or concerns you may have about this practice.
