That’s a wrap for our Level 4 Counsellor Training group sessions this summer!

On Friday, we closed out the spring/summer training with our final face-to-face group session in Mallorca, joined by our brilliant online trainees from the UK, who dialled in via Zoom. The team have their last 1-2-1 with Gary this week before a well-earned break.

From first nerves to powerful breakthroughs, this group has shown what happens when courage meets consistency.

A big thank you to Maroussia, one of our counsellors, who joined Gary to co-facilitate this final session. Your presence brought calm, clarity and insight, exactly what the group needed.

To our trainees: thank you for showing up so fully.
Enjoy your well-earned summer break!

Long summer breaks can feel carefree, until routine disappears. Studies show girls and boys from less-affluent backgrounds are more likely to experience loneliness, hunger, and anxiety over the holidays: https://zurl.co/c5chr

As a parent or caregiver, little actions can help: arranging playdates, trying to maintain even loose routines around meals and sleep, and scheduling outdoor time.

💬 Need support helping your temperament child through the break? We’re here to help and we have a team of counsellors available.

Let’s be honest, starting therapy isn’t easy.

You’re choosing to open up the parts of yourself you’ve hidden, buried, or never been allowed to express.
You’re trusting someone you’ve never met with your pain, your past, your truth.
That takes courage. Real courage.

Not everyone talks about this part, but we will.

At The Gap Counselling, we don’t take your trust lightly.
We meet your fear with care.
We meet your silence with patience.
We meet your story with respect.

And we walk with you, at your pace.

If you’re ready, or just curious, we’re here to talk.
