Christmas is often painted as a time of warmth, togetherness and familiar traditions. Cosy moments, shared meals and the feeling of being surrounded by loved ones. 🎄✨

For many people, especially after divorce, Christmas can feel very different. Instead of comfort, it may bring uncertainty, loneliness or emotional strain, particularly if it is your first one navigating it on your own.

This Christmas, our members have shared some thoughtful tips on how to make the festive period more manageable after divorce.

Access to therapy shouldn’t depend on where you live.

For too long, victims and survivors of domestic abuse and sexual violence have faced a postcode lottery when trying to get the support they need.

The new NHS referral services introduced by the government aims to change that by improving access to specialist therapy for survivors across England. This is a positive and much-needed step forward for those affected by domestic and child sexual abuse.

Misogyny is not always obvious. It can be woven into online trends, cultural norms, and casual comments that students carry into the counselling room without realising.

If a young person hesitates and says 'I don’t know why I think this', it reveals a deeper story waiting to be explored.

In the latest University and College Counselling journal, Emma Wingate looks at what may be underneath this prejudice and how we can work with it in the counselling room.

Christmas may still be a couple of weeks away, but the pressure is already building with parties, planning, prep and the never-ending to-do list. For many, it’s exciting - but it can also be exhausting. 😵‍💫

Grief can make everything feel different, affecting your thoughts, your body, and even the sense of who you are.

Your memory may slip, your sleep or appetite can change, your mood may feel unpredictable, your chest can ache with the weight of loss, and you might feel strangely lost, as though a part of you went with the person who died.

This Grief Awareness Week, our member Julia Samuel shares tips on how you can support yourself as you navigate the emotional, physical and psychological impact of grief.

Health Secretary Wes Streeting’s announcement of an independent review into mental health demand and support is an important opportunity to prompt action to improve the nation’s mental health. It must be based on solid evidence.

We will contribute to the review and will ensure that the voices of the counselling and psychotherapy sector and those with lived experience are at the heart of our submission.

The review follows comments by Streeting earlier this year that mental health conditions were being ‘over-diagnosed’. He’s now said it’s important that the rise in diagnoses is better understood.

"We were hugely concerned by these 'over-diagnosis' comments and angered by Minister Stephen Kinnock’s inaccurate statement earlier this year that an ‘unregulated private sector' of therapists was contributing to an ‘overdiagnosis' of mental health conditions. This review should provide real answers – and put these ill-judged comments to bed," says Dr Lisa Morrison, our Director of Professional Standards, Policy and Research.

This week, we've supported Stuart Andrew MP to table some parliamentary questions about the scope of the review, the current evidence available about diagnosis rates and opportunities for the mental health sector to contribute to the work. We're awaiting answers to these from the Department for Health and Social Care.
