Welcome to the Counseling Tutor podcast, the must listen to podcast for students of counselling and psychotherapy.

Here are your hosts, Rory Lise Oakes and Ken Kelly.

Hi, I'm Rory and with me as always is Ken. How are you today, Ken?

I am well. Thank you for asking Rory. I'm delighted to be here.

And I'm absolutely chuffed as anything that you've joined us for the Counseling Tutor podcast.

This is episode 203. And today we're going to be looking at three different topics in three different sections.

Starting off with our counseling foundations,

where we're going to be exploring why ethics are important. Then we're going to move on to focus on

self, where we recognize that you, as the practitioner, you are the heart of your practice

and focus on self so, so important. And we're going to be talking about knowing your own

attachment style, what that looks like, why that's important. And we're closing episode 203 by

dipping into practice matters. That's where we look at what we may come across in the day

to day running of a counselling practice. And today we have a guest lecturer.

That's Karen Lawrence, who's going to be speaking about sex addiction. Met up with Rory,

really interesting topic. Can walk into your counselling practice at any time. But let's kick off.

We're talking in our counselling foundations about the importance of ethics within a counselling

practice. Why are they important? Well, I mean, I think that's a really good question,

isn't it? And I think they're important because as practitioners, and I think in our own lives, really, we have to think about doing

the right thing.

And ethics help us and guide us into doing the right thing.

And there's different forms of ethics, for those of you are interested in being scholarly,

you can look at different forms of ethics.
