Talk Enables Change…help us support more women recover from trauma

Women we work with do not neatly fit into a single category and therefore there is rarely a service which can offer them the depth and length of support that we can provide. They have compound, complex problems and are often victims of gender-based violence and caught in a cycle that they find hard to break. Help Us support more vulnerable women with talking therapy:

£45 will provide one counselling session
£85 will provide one group counselling session for up to 8 women
£25 per hour will provide 1 hour of childcare to enable a women to attend counselling

The Maya Centre

Counselling for Women

Confidentiality and Ethics

You are here: Home / What we do / Confidentiality and Ethics

The counselling service at the Maya Centre is accredited by the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP) which ensures that our service is well-managed and our counselling is of a high standard.

Confidentiality

All personal material shared with our counsellors is strictly confidential within the Centre. No information will be disclosed to anyone else without advising the client, except in exceptional circumstances. Exceptional circumstances may arise when the counsellor has good grounds for believing that someone may cause serious harm to themselves or others, or have harm caused to her. Wherever possible any decision to break confidentiality is made only after speaking with that person.

We require all clients to give consent that their GP is informed when they begin counselling in case we have cocerns about the clients health.

Code of ethics

The Maya Centre is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). This means that we are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework for Good Practice in Counselling and Psychotherapy. All our paid counsellors are trained and in regular supervision. We also provide voluntary placements for counsellors in training and those recently qualified who are supervised within the Centre. If you have any concerns about your counselling you should speak to your counsellor first if you can. If you are concerned about any aspect of the service, you can follow the procedure outlined in our complaints procedure, a copy of which is in the waiting area.
