Nevertheless, boundaries will always be present when we work with our clients (e.g contact after office hours). 

Confidentiality: Conflict of interest (for when a kid who self-harms or raped but wants their issues to be secret); there is this struggle because you do want the client to trust you and discuss about their issues but you also are liable to the professional ethics you are bound to. Moral ambiguity ensues where you would want to respect the client’s interests but also being answerable to the institution you’re working for.

For example, a counsellor taking a longer route to reach the goals of the client. It can be for money or the counsellor is blur. https://padlet.com/drtanutm/40i4phgj6v3c02u9/wish/682488853 2020-08-17 10:52:57 UTC https://padlet.com/drtanutm/40i4phgj6v3c02u9/wish/682488853
