Professional Ethics

All CFED practitioners are members of the national registering bodies and are bound by their codes of ethics and professional practice guidelines.  These relate to the importance of therapeutic boundaries, maintaining knowledge and above all, confidentiality. The registering bodies carry clinical responsibility.

All information relating to CFED’s clients is treated with the utmost confidentiality. Issues of confidentiality are discussed in the initial consultation, where specific concerns may be addressed.
