‘Therapy gave me back my life’

Walking into a counselling room for the first time can feel daunting. For our member Thomas Quayle, it was the start of a journey that helped him face what once felt unbearable.

In the latest Therapy Today – It Changed My Life column, he shares how therapy helped him understand his struggles, rebuild his life, and eventually support others facing similar challenges.

What happens in therapy❓

Therapy isn’t like a chat you’d have with friends or family. It’s a dedicated time for you and your therapist to discuss the issues that brought you to seek support. The focus is on you.

Your therapist may offer information, but they won’t try to persuade you to a particular point of view. They'll guide you through exploring your feelings, past and present experiences, relationships, and behaviours. Together, you'll identify ways to address your concerns and find effective coping strategies.

Therapists do:

🟣 Offer a safe and confidential space to help you explore emotional problems.
🟣 Help you make sense of your world.
🟣 Help you explore feelings and thoughts to resolve emotional distress.
🟣 Help you towards a better understanding of yourself and others, which may improve your ability to relate to others.

Therapists don’t:

🟣 Tell you what to do.
🟣 Prescribe drugs – only an appropriate medical practitioner can do this.
🟣 Provide specific information about health-related problems, unless they work in a specialised service.
🟣 Meet you outside pre-planned sessions.
🟣 Talk in detail about themselves and their own problems.

Confidentiality and trust are crucial for a working relationship between a client and a therapist.

That's why from this week, new rules are in force that significantly strengthen protections for sexual assault survivors’ counselling notes during criminal investigations, following years of campaigning by the Keep Counselling Confidential coalition - which we're proud to be part of.

Knowing this space is now better protected will reduce fear and anxiety, allowing victims and survivors to engage fully in therapy without worrying that their most personal reflections being used against them.

Share your views for the future of counselling and psychotherapy!

We’d like to invite you to share your views and contribute to the evidence that will help to inform the Commission for the Future of Counselling and Psychotherapy final report and recommendations. The report will support and shape the direction of future collaborative work between the Partnership of Counselling and Psychotherapy Bodies (PCPB) and engagement with policymakers and commissioners of services on behalf of the profession and for the benefit of clients.

As part of this process, we also want to capture the input and views of services, the wider mental health sector and vitally, of those with lived experience.

That’s why we’re inviting anyone with an interest in the future of the profession to contribute their own evidence to this important review.

Insights from all of the evidence sessions and from the call for evidence will help shape the Commission’s final report and recommendations, which is due to be published in summer 2026.

So how do you submit evidence?

If you’re a BACP member, you’ll have been sent a link to a survey to complete. If you haven’t received this, please contact our customer services team. If you provide a service, work in the wider mental health sector, have lived experience or have an interest in the Commission’s work and would like to submit evidence, please complete the survey by clicking the link below.

The call for evidence will close on 27 March 2026.
