How do we recognise when ‘doing the right thing’ might be causing harm?
And how can we stay grounded in our values while staying open to complexity?
In this Thinking in Conversation event, Keemar Keemar and John Wilson invite you into a reflective space to explore what happens when practitioners rigidly apply their own interpretation of ethical codes and frameworks.
We’ll ask:
- How do we exercise and practise our interpretation of ethics in real-world situations?
- And what happens when that interpretation becomes fixed or unreflective?
Together, we’ll consider:
- Moments when ethical actions felt out of step with the relational field
- How fear of getting it wrong can lead to defensive or inflexible practice
- The difference between ethical adherence and ethical responsiveness
- What helps us stay relational and reflective in ethically complex moments
This session offers no definitive answers – instead, it opens a space to think, feel, and question in community.

Presenter
I have been facilitating in Counselling & Psychotherapy programmes in the UK for more than 10 years.
I am currently the director at Temenos Education and have a private practice where I offer online Psychotherapy and Supervision using video and chat communication platforms along with virtual environments. I am also the co-founder of onlinevents which has grown to be the world’s largest library of online video and audio content with instant certification and a learning log.
I am also a past chair of the Association for Counselling & Therapy Online (ACTO) and have served for 6 years on the board of the World Association for Person Centered & Experiential Psychotherapy & Counselling. My passion to bring online learning into the field of Counselling & Psychotherapy has also led to the development of online experiential learning within the Temenos programme, facilitating the exposure of Temenos students to external tutors who are located in different parts of the world. Along with the inclusion of experiential learning of online Counselling & Psychotherapy for Temenos students so that they qualify with knowledge and practice in online communication and relationship.
I have over 20 years experience as a therapist, supervisor, and trainer in private practice and large organisations. My specialism is in creating environments where the growth of the organism becomes inevitable. This is true whether the organism is an individual or an organisation.
I have a passion for creating these environments through my understanding and implementing a fusion between philosophy, theory, and practice of person-centred Psychotherapy.
