Even in a ther**eutic ralationship where we are safe, supported and seen as clients we can still do some of the following

🚨 COUNSELLORS: This change could encourage more of your clients to seek justice — and stay in therapy while doing it.
👉 Watch now: https://youtu.be/WL_3M-A1Mgw?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=new-police-guidance-on-accessing-counselling-records

One of the hardest conversations in practice: a client who has survived abuse decides to report it to the police — then asks whether their counselling notes will be handed over. For many, that fear alone has been enough to make them withdraw.

New draft guidance in England and Wales, effective January 2026, changes this. Police can no longer routinely request victims' counselling records. Any request now needs to be necessary, proportionate, and relevant — and must be authorised at chief inspector level.

Ken and Rory break down exactly what this guidance covers, where it applies, and what it means for your day-to-day practice.
If you work with survivors of sexual abuse or r**e, this one's essential viewing.

You can be doing well and still feel like everything is going wrong.

One small mistake turns into “I always mess up”.
One comment becomes “they must think badly of me”.
One bad day feels like a disaster.

This is how the mind can trick you. It fills in gaps, focuses on the negative, and convinces you it is all true. Overthinking, anxiety and low mood often start here.

But thoughts are not facts. They are patterns - and patterns can change.

Learning to notice these thinking traps is a powerful step towards feeling calmer, more in control, and kinder to yourself.
