Code of Ethics — Somatic Sexology Bodywork

As a Somatic Sexology Bodyworker, I commit to practising with integrity, professionalism, and deep respect for each client’s personal journey.
This Code of Ethics outlines the values and principles that guide my work, ensuring all interactions are safe, consensual, and grounded in dignity, care, and professionalism.

1. Consent & Boundaries

I will engage only in practices explicitly and mutually agreed upon.
I honour my own boundaries and the boundaries of every client.
All sessions are guided by ongoing verbal consent, and either party may pause or stop the session at any time.
I never pressure or coerce clients into experiences or explorations they are uncertain about.

2. Safety & Well-Being

I prioritise physical, emotional, and psychological safety throughout all sessions.
I maintain a clean, professional environment and uphold high standards of hygiene and care.
I am trained in trauma-informed practice and always seek to support nervous system regulation and embodiment.
Clients are encouraged to communicate their needs and limits at all times.

3. Confidentiality & Privacy

I protect the confidentiality of all clients and never share identifying information without explicit written consent.
I handle all personal data and session notes with care and discretion.
I ask clients to respect the same confidentiality to maintain mutual trust and integrity.

4. Professionalism & Integrity

I provide clear, transparent information about session structure, boundaries, and fees.
I do not make therapeutic, medical, or sexual claims beyond my training and scope of practice.
I maintain professional supervision and ongoing education to ensure ethical and embodied practice.
I honour all agreements and maintain honesty in communication and conduct.

5. Respect & Inclusivity

I welcome all individuals regardless of gender, sexuality, relationship style, race, age, body type, ability, or background.
My practice is a non-judgmental and inclusive space where diversity is celebrated.
Discrimination, harassment, or disrespectful behaviour is not tolerated.

6. Emotional & Psychological Integrity

I am aware of the emotional depth that somatic work can evoke and approach it with care and professionalism.
I maintain clear emotional boundaries and do not enter into dual relationships that may compromise the client’s process.
I engage in personal reflection and supervision to ensure my emotional well-being and grounded presence in sessions.

7. Commitment to Growth & Education

I engage in continuous personal and professional development, including study, supervision, and embodiment practices.
I am committed to maintaining awareness of my biases, privileges, and blind spots.
I value feedback from clients and peers as part of my ongoing learning.
This Code of Ethics ensures that Somatic Sexology Bodywork is practised with integrity, compassion, and professionalism, honouring the autonomy, safety, and dignity of every client.
