It provides a consistent framework in the counselling process which shapes the appropriate interaction and relationship structure. There are five basic principles outlined in the Psychotherapy and Counselling Federation of Australia (PACFA) Interim Code of Ethics 2015 that guides the therapeutic boundaries.

They provide means of guidance in forms of communicating with others to help objectives of future workplaces and overall futures to come.

Additionally, they combine academic progress with social skills and make it so they intertwine. The AIJ goes on to extend there case by stating, “ professional school counseling services model makes them “uni1quely qualified to address all students’ academic, career and personal/social development needs by designing, implementing, evaluating, and enhancing a comprehensive school counseling program that promotes and enhances student success” (Administrative Issues Journal P 8).
