Roots Unity provides systemic constellation work, coaching, supervision and training grounded in a clear ethical framework. This Ethical Charter applies to all engagements with clients, supervisees, and training participants.

Preamble

Systemic constellation work is a method of personal and professional exploration. It is not a medical, psychiatric, or psychotherapeutic act. It does not replace any medical, psychological, or psychiatric care that may be necessary.

Principle 1 — Confidentiality

All information shared during sessions, supervisions, or training is strictly confidential. No content is disclosed to third parties without the explicit written consent of the concerned person, except in cases of legal obligation or imminent danger.

Principle 2 — Informed Consent

Before any engagement, the client receives clear information about the method, its scope, its limits, the duration, the price, and the rights to withdraw at any time. A written consent is signed for individual constellation sessions.

Principle 3 — Non-substitution

The practitioner does not diagnose, treat, or prescribe. They do not substitute for psychiatrists, psychologists, psychotherapists, medical doctors, or any regulated health professional. In case of identified medical, psychiatric, or social need, the practitioner orients the person toward the appropriate professional.

Principle 4 — Professional Supervision

The practitioner engages in regular external supervision to ensure the quality and ethics of their practice, prevent drift, and maintain professional reflexivity.

Principle 5 — Respect for the Systemic Order

The practitioner observes the systemic phenomena that emerge without imposing interpretation, judgment, or premature solution. The work serves the order, belonging, and balance of the system, not the practitioner’s projections.

Principle 6 — Limitation of Scope

The practitioner only intervenes within their domain of competence. They explicitly recognize the limits of the systemic approach and decline interventions for which they are not qualified.

Principle 7 — Continuous Training

The practitioner commits to continuous training, regular reading, and active participation in professional networks to maintain and develop their skills.

Principle 8 — Transparency on Methods

The practitioner clearly communicates the methods used (systemic constellation, coaching, supervision), their theoretical foundations, and the absence of guarantee of result. No promise of healing, transformation, or specific outcome is made.

Principle 9 — Respect of Persons

The practitioner respects the dignity, autonomy, beliefs, and pace of each person. No discrimination based on origin, gender, sexual orientation, religion, social or professional status is tolerated.
