Business & Owner Information
Statement of Company Purpose
A warm welcome to the Wright Counselling and Supervision Service© website, which is also abbreviated to WCSS©.
WCSS is a privately owned and independent company, established in 2017. Its primary purpose is to offer mental-health–related services to individuals and to for-profit and not-for-profit business entities, which may include, but are not limited to, education, government, and charities. It holds both contractual and sub‑contractual agreements, mainly for its primary areas of work: clinical therapeutic counselling; clinical counselling supervision; reflective practice (for non‑counselling professionals); and consultancy services. Other related activities it undertakes include any work elements connected to at least one of the primary roles above.
Clinical Supervision
Working aspects are subject to ongoing professional clinical supervision, which WCSS has independently sought to advocate, support, and facilitate for the health and development of the service and its staff, ensuring a high-quality, authentic, and professional service for current clients and members of the public seeking assistance.
Full Rights to Autonomous Treatment
WCSS reminds individuals of their full autonomy and control to make decisions that are best for them, rather than WCSS assuming any power, leverage, or control over anyone. Clients have full control over their therapeutic work. The counsellor facilitates and prioritises the client's therapeutic journey above all else, and will kindly address any issues or obstacles if the counsellor's professional judgment suggests a client's temporary struggle to self‑guide, so they can steer themselves back onto their chosen course. In this scenario, as in others, WCSS incorporates a theoretical approach known as the person‑centred approach, derived from the origins of humanistic psychology.

Membership Affiliations
I hold an active individual membership with the National Counselling and Psychotherapy Society (NCPS). This membership is non‑obligatory for my work but is vital for earning credibility and trust with members of the public and demonstrating proficiency, competency, and merit. I currently hold "Accredited Registrant" status with the NCPS and am in the preparation stages of working towards professional accreditation. I use the professional letters "Acc" in my post‑nominal letters.
The NCPS does not present itself as a governing body for its members and trusts that members are professional enough to carry out their work and approaches without enforcement. Both I and WCSS strongly support and adhere to the NCPS ethical framework and work to follow it across all services offered.

Full Rights To Privacy & Confidentiality
WCSS places the highest importance on privacy and confidentiality across all services.
We enforce a strict confidentiality policy and do not share sensitive information under any circumstances. As WCSS is privately and independently owned, no information is disclosed to third parties unless we receive explicit written consent from the individual who owns the information.
Confidentiality in counselling differs from other services that may share information with outside parties. At WCSS, information is only disclosed in exceptional situations:
- When there is an immediate risk of harm or danger to someone’s safety
- When required by a valid court order
Counselling notes are kept brief, limited to what is absolutely necessary, and stored in accordance with our counselling retention policy.
