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

John Wilson

I am a co-founder and Director at Onlinevents, dedicated to democratising learning in the helping professions. We host the world’s first and largest video learning library akin to “Netflix” for these professions.

Additionally, I serve as a Director at Temenos Education and lead the Counselling & Psychotherapy Programme. Our focus is on nurturing students to become their most potent selves, both personally and professionally.

With over 20 years of experience, I currently manage a private practice as a Psychotherapist and Supervisor, offering services through video, text chat, and virtual environments.

I also facilitate groups and am involved in the Going Global and La Jolla programmes, rooted in Carl Rogers’ Encounter Group movement.

I am a past Chair and now an Honorary Fellow at the Association for Counselling & Therapy Online (ACTO). I have served on the board of the World Association for Person Centered & Experiential Psychotherapy & Counselling for 6 years.

Keemar Keemar

I have 30 years experience as a psychotherapist in private practise, 20 years working as a tutor and Director of a Psychotherapy Training Institute, 11 years as a senior counsellor for NHS staff and 8 years in University Student Counselling.

I often work with people who find therapy daunting or even think it could be impossible. Often in responsible roles, maybe creating change in their environment, yet unable to effect satisfying or profound changes in themselves and their own lives.

My job is to see what blocks and inhibits you. The process of us being together offers opportunity for new ways to think and live.

I offer Counselling & Psychotherapy both long and short term and I work face to face in Sheffield and online for people across the UK.

For 20 years I have been providing Supervision & Reflective Practise for other professionals including counsellors and psychotherapist, NHS staff, School Leaders, Business and Executive Coaches and anyone wanting to explore, expand and take care of themselves personally and professionally.
