Person-Centred Counselling & Psychotherapy was developed in the 1940s by Carl Rogers as an alternative to more psychodynamic modalities. The focus is on the ‘person’ (the client, you) and the relationship between the client and therapist (me).

Encanto: Using Cinema and Media in a Therapeutic Way
When you think about it, movies like Encanto and Inside Out are perfect examples of applying mental health and psychological concepts to a wider demographic.

Finding a shared language between myself and my clients is probably one of the most important aspects on relationship building.
Ace Week 2021
This is the first year that I am celebrating Ace Week since coming out to myself and my family. When I say that I came out to myself this year, I had quite a journey getting to this point.
LGBT History Month – Bisexuality, Biphobia and BiErasure
February in the UK is LGBT History Month, a time to recognise LGBT issues, topics and history. It’s incredibly important to the community, but I also feel it’s important for society as a whole. As a bisexual woman who only “came out” to her family last year, I’ve been exploring my own thoughts, feelings and experiences and hope to cover some of those in this article.
Tavistock Policy Seminar: Whiteness – A Problem for Our Times
Last night I attended a seminar ran by the Tavistock and Portman NHS Foundation Trust entitled “Whiteness – A problem for our times” which aimed to “examine white privilege and white fragility from a psychoanalytic perspective”. This was led by Helen Morgan, Fellow of the British Psychotherapy Foundation, training analyst and supervisor who has aContinue reading “Tavistock Policy Seminar: Whiteness – A Problem for Our Times”
CTUK gets some answers from the BACP: Question 4
The CTUK community sent a series of questions to the BACP (and I believe also the UKCP, BPC etc) to get some clarity on the issues that will impact on us. On 15th December they published the answers that they received from the BACP. I’m very surprised that they heard something back before Christmas! Their published answers have not been analysed by CTUK, so I thought I’d look at the issues and highlight some of the key parts that I picked up.

Open Letter to Liz Truss
As a trainee counsellor/psychotherapist I often get asked what politics has to do with therapy. It saddens me as there is often a suggestion that to be a therapist I need to leave my personal ethics at the door – and yet, we all abide by an ethical framework.
