Provide two examples of situations that are beyond the scope of counselling professional limitations. Provide three examples of ethical requirements that must be adhered to when providing counselling services. Read the following scenario and identify the rights and responsibilities of the client, worker and employer. Use the table provided to record the answers You work for a small family counselling practice as a social worker and have recently started providing counselling services to Aaron, a 36-year-old recovering alcoholic. One night, you are working late to complete overdue paperwork. You begin to lock up at around 9pm. As you are about to turn on the alarm, you look up to see Aaron standing in the doorway. He appears to be very drunk and starts swearing at you calling you names and getting very close to your face. There are no other staff members on the premises. There are no emergency procedures in place and you don’t know what to do. You eventually manage to calm Aaron down and he bursts into tears, saying that he just could help himself and needed to drink. You call him cab so that he can get home safely and continue to lock up and head home. The situation has really shaken you up and over the next few weeks you begin to suffer from high levels of anxiety and panic attacks. You go to the doctor and he diagnoses you with mild post-traumatic stress disorder.
