Yesterday, we brought our two Diploma cohorts together for a Research Day With a Difference.

We kept coming back to the idea that the hardest research we’ll ever do is the one we do on ourselves, so the day wove together personal reflection with collaborative, research-like enquiry.

Trainees explored their motivations for becoming counsellors, their hopes as they move towards practice, and learned alongside each other. And Year 2 students offered their lived experience to support those preparing for placement.

What emerged was a growing sense of clarity, confidence and professional identity, alongside important conversations about sustainability, self-care and self-respect.

Relational practice isn’t something we leave at the therapy room door - it’s part of how we structure the learning itself.

Our Sam is at the Conference this evening.

An overseas conference, it started at 5pm (BST), so realistically she’s not making it through the whole thing - a girl does, in fact, need her sleep 😴

However, listening to speak has been very affirming. She advocates that
"accommodations shouldn't need to be earned."
There are lots of stories about this in children's education. But simple shifts like movement breaks, thoughtful learning environments and flexibility over compliance can make a huge difference.

We believe that this applies to adult education too.

As host, Chris - - echoed (even as I’m typing this), these adjustments don’t just support neurodivergent individuals - they benefit everyone. Which is why we’re continually working towards neuro-affirming counselling training.

Thanks Dr Huff for speaking so clearly and directly on this.

🔵The host of Psychotherapy Book Club is an avid reader of old and new Psychotherapy related text, giving brief synopses and sometimes personal reflections on what the book meant to them✨. We're looking forward to reading their review of this book and comparing it to our own.

In the meantime, a HUGE 🙏🏼 to the generosity of contributors who are so supportive of our counsellors- in-training and other members of our TFC community who benefit. 💙

Note-taking, continued.

It’s a theme that often starts with questions about what to include, how much is enough and whether something important might be missed.

Over time, it tends to become less about capturing everything and more about being able to justify what is recorded in relation to presentation and process.

✨Integrating a Coaching Lens to Your Therapy Practice (online) ✨

Are you noticing clients asking for strategies or practical direction in sessions? These moments can sometimes feel like a pull to giving advice, creating tension when you're aware that this may sit outside your therapeutic stance, yet unsure what else to offer. This online CPD explores how a coaching-informed lens and some basic coaching theory can broaden your responses while keeping your work firmly grounded in your therapeutic modality..
