Health & Safety for Relationship Counselling from a Clinical Supervision Perspective

In this course, therapist and author Dr. Michael Acton introduces a clear, no-nonsense framework for health & safety in relationship counselling and supervision. He contrasts idealised theory with real-world complexity (including social-media-amplified crises), emphasises contracts with zero-tolerance clauses, and demonstrates how supervisors can turn codes of ethics into concrete behaviours: confident risk enquiry, DFV-informed decision pathways, and “err-on-the-side-of-caution” judgment calls. Clinicians and supervisors leave with scripts, stances, and structures to manage risk while preserving therapeutic integrity.
