Creating a clinical will in line with the updated BACP Ethical Framework?
Wisdom gained from experience is often the catalyst for change. We see this all the time in the therapy room. But how often do we as therapists challenge ourselves in that way?

Keep readingWhen I’ve done everything ‘right’ and I’ve always tried my best, why hasn’t life turned out the way I wanted it to?
People come to therapy for lots of reasons. Often, it’s because they’ve hit a point in life where they realise that despite their best efforts, things just haven’t panned out the way they expected or wanted and they’re wondering whether there is more to life.

One for the professionals among us. I love it when something pops into my consciousness that really makes me stop and reflect.
