She relishes the opportunity to champion the work of illustrators and authors alike and is open to anything from 0-9 whether texts, illustrations or both. She loves anything with strong and engaging characters at its heart, quirky stories, and books that make you laugh and/or books that can make you laugh while you learn… Apart from the ever enduring and absolute classics like Quentin Blake’s Mrs Armitage, Millie has recently enjoyed Mariajo Ilustrajo’s Lost, Ed Vere’s The Artist, The Secret Beast Club (Robin Birch and Jobe Anderson), Dave Pigeon (Swapna Haddow and Sheena Dempsey), How to Be A Genius Kid (Jim Smith) and anything by Lauren Child.

Essential knowledge – for counsellors, psychotherapists and anyone else working with distressed people This new online course is designed to stimulate deeper thinking about the ethical dilemmas and professional difficulties you may encounter when working with people suffering emotional distress. It gives you sound principles to remember and realistic guidelines to follow whenever difficult ethical situations arise. Whilst primarily designed for counsellors and psychotherapists, anyone interested in thinking more clearly about ethical matters, including social workers, occupational therapists, mental health workers, medical and legal professionals, can complete the course. The guidance offered is not a list of static ‘rules’ but a framework of interlocking ideas and insights through which it is possible to create clear and reasonable codes of professional conduct to help ensure we act ethically. The discussions between the tutors raise important considerations – deriving from real case histories – and give you valuable insights about the evolution of ethical behaviour and the nature of ethical problems today. Why this course is needed We live in a world that, despite technological progress, seems to have lost its moral compass. It should go without saying that all therapists should act ethically with their patients, but some don’t. The consequences of this can prove distressing and even damaging for the client involved, and, for the practitioner, can mean anything from public censure, suspension from practice, or full-scale striking off. So, in addition to following guidelines and a code of practice, therapists need to develop a sound inner intuition of what the right thing to do is in any particular circumstance. However, developing this intuition requires us to escape from our mental pigeon-holes so that we can develop richer patterns of thought, through consideration of a wide range of potential pitfalls and ethical dilemmas, to draw upon and return to throughout our professional lives. What will you explore The foundations of ethics Ethics and human nature The difference between ethics, morals and the law The reason ethical dilemmas arise The HG Code of Ethics Examples of modern ethical quandaries Living in a ‘victim culture’ that’s obsessed with blaming Why ethical behaviour is socially conditioned The importance of learning from mistakes Why relying on systems can inhibit flexibility of thought and behaviour Why organisational rigidity drives bureaucracies to behave unethically What determines our individual nature, character and mental health The assumptions we make that get in the way of ethical decision making Typical case histories dealt with by the HGI’s Registration and Professional Standards Committee Ethics: needs and wants Ethics, tribalism and political correctness Our inbuilt range of moral emotional responses The illusion of shared perceptions Three ethical safeguards arising from the Human Givens approach The importance of spare capacity when helping others The danger of patients putting therapists on a pedestal Why technology, using artificial intelligence, raises ethical questions Accredited CPD certificate and much more… Counts towards a Diploma By taking this course, you could be on your way to completing Part 1 of the Human Givens Diploma – a flexible, part-time psychotherapy course which will deepen your psychological knowledge and increase your ability to help people effectively and quickly.  Course Programme Part 1The nature of ethical problems Part 2Ethical Foundations Part 3Practitioners Code of Conduct Part 4Case Histories What's included? 24 Videos 30 Quizzes Life-long access CPD Certificate Course format This online ethics course is delivered by four distinguished Fellows of the HGI, Sue Saunders, Ian Thomson, Ivan Tyrrell and Denise Winn – their discussions provide much food for thought and draw on real case histories that have come before the HGI’s Registration and Professional Standards Committee.
