Statement on Ethics, Integrity, and Transparency

At The School of Positive Psychology (TSPP), we are deeply committed to upholding the highest standards of ethics, integrity, and transparency in all aspects of our work. As a leading provider of adult education in the field of psychology in Singapore, with a particular focus on counselling, coaching, and psychotherapy, we recognise the profound impact our practices have on the wellbeing and development of our students and, by extension, the clients they will serve.

Ethics

In the fields of counselling, coaching, and psychotherapy, ethical behaviour is not just an expectation but a necessity. Our institution is dedicated to fostering a culture of ethical practice, where respect for confidentiality, informed consent, and the dignity of all individuals is paramount. We emphasise the importance of adhering to established ethical guidelines and standards specific to these disciplines, ensuring that our students are well-equipped to handle the complexities of professional practice with integrity.

Integrity

Integrity is the foundation upon which trust is built in therapeutic relationships. At TSPP, we instil in our students the importance of honesty, reliability, and authenticity in their professional conduct. Whether in the role of a counsellor, coach, or psychotherapist, our graduates are trained to uphold the highest standards of integrity, ensuring that their actions consistently align with their ethical commitments and the best interests of their clients.

Transparency

Transparency is essential to effective communication and trust-building in educational and therapeutic settings. We are committed to maintaining open and honest communication with our students, faculty, and stakeholders. This includes providing clear information about our curriculum, methodologies, assessment criteria, and the ethical implications of professional practice in counselling, coaching, and psychotherapy. We believe that transparency in these areas fosters a learning environment where students can confidently develop their skills and knowledge.

Implementation and Enforcement

To ensure that these principles are upheld, TSPP has established rigorous policies and procedures that govern our educational programmes and professional conduct. We offer comprehensive training on ethical practices specific to counselling, coaching, and psychotherapy, preparing our students to navigate ethical dilemmas with confidence and clarity. Any breaches of ethical standards are addressed promptly and appropriately to maintain the integrity of our programmes.

Commitment to Continuous Improvement

In the dynamic fields of psychology, counselling, coaching, and psychotherapy, continuous improvement is crucial. We are dedicated to regularly reviewing and enhancing our ethical practices, informed by the latest research and developments in these fields. We welcome feedback from our community and are committed to making necessary adjustments to better serve our students and uphold our ethical commitments.

By adhering to these principles of ethics, integrity, and transparency, TSPP aims to set a standard of excellence in the education of professionals in counselling, coaching, and psychotherapy. We believe that these values are essential to the success of our students and the positive impact they will have in their professional practices.
