Counseling gives directions

The course is built on the basis of recognizing the principles of Ethics and Practice of the British Association of Counseling and Psychotherapy (BACP) as the organization seeks to affirm practitioner's credibility to good Practice.
Seemingly, the society does not take responsibility for directing any uniformity of practice and theory, but emphasizes ethics and values on the basis of aim, method and assumptions.
