Document preview thumbnail
Preview 2 out of 11 pages

This essay provides a critical reflection on ethical decision-making in counselling psychology, focusing on an enhanced version of a case study. It examines core ethical principles such as autonomy, beneficence, non-maleficence, confidentiality and professional boundaries as outlined in the HPCSA ethical guidelines, and critically analyses how the enhanced version improves ethical sensitivity, cultural competence and client-centred care compared to the original. The reflection also evaluates my own ethical awareness and the importance of ongoing self-reflection in transformative counselling practice.
