Primary care is the first contact with the health service for patients and is thus the meeting point for people with different perspectives on emotional and psychological issues. The counselling model needs to examine the moral problems posed by these difficulties, and its own differences from the standard health care model, where cure and symptomatic relief rather than personal growth may be the aim. Key situations and relationships are examined against a background of accepted ethical principles (respect for autonomy, the duty to care, minimising harm, and being fair) from the viewpoint of all involved in the encounter, with particular reference to conflicts, responsibilities, confidentiality, and methods of referral and joint working.
