Whatever the setting, in the course of your counselling work, clients may disclose issues ranging from having downloaded child sexual abuse images, share fantasies or fears about sexually abusing a child or perhaps share a fear that they may go on to abuse linked to their own sexual trauma.
Counsellors often contact BACP’s Ethics Hub to seek guidance on a full range of issues linked to harmful sexual behaviours whilst still working safely, legally and ethically within their practice.
This online event will offer counselling practitioners the opportunity to hear from the experts, to work from a place free from judgement and to safely explore risk within the therapeutic context.
