Therapist: An Ethical Dilemma
Introduction
In this essay I am going to examine the information given from Miss E and plan an ethical approach to working with her and attach a copy of the screed. During the initial consultation the ethical therapist would use counselling skills to explore and identify any deeper issues that the client may wish to address.

When your self-esteem is low, almost all areas of your life working, socialising, loving are made more difficult” (p152).
Hadley and Staudacher advise that to improve self-esteem and deal with that critical inner voice not just for today but permanently is by reprogramming the subconscious. They specifically advocate including in the
