Today we had the pleasure of celebrating our level 3 students who completed their course, the Counselling and Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body (CPCAB) Certificate in Counselling Studies.

This course, alongside the demands of personal therapy and in depth personal development, equips candidates to build a solid foundation of counselling skills and theoretical knowledge. It also prepares candidates to take on the significant demands of the 2-year qualifying diploma.

Well done to our wonderful cohort, a day of celebration was well deserved!

Today is the UN's International Day of Happiness.
We love this reminder from Dr Mark Williamson at Action for Happiness that positive connections with other people is one of the most important predictors of lifelong happiness.
Let's celebrate and value the relationships that help us feel connected to others and bring us happiness.

We were delighted to welcome the wonderful Toni Buffham to willows on Saturday to facilitate a CPD workshop on an Introduction to Internal Family Systems.
Great to see so many returning attendees, and to welcome many others who were attending a Willows CPD workshop for the first time.

Our next CPD workshop is on Saturday 25th April. The topic is ‘Working ethically with risk and suicidality’.

🌟 Celebrating International Women’s Day at Willows 🌟

Today, we’re proud to recognise and celebrate that Willows is a women‑led charity — guided and inspired by two wonderful Joint CEOs.

From ensuring we deliver a high‑quality, effective, and sustainable service for the hundreds of clients we support each year, to the unwavering encouragement they offer to our staff, volunteers, and students, their impact is felt in every corner of our organisation.
Their leadership, compassion, and commitment shape who we are and how we serve our community, and we want to say a heartfelt thank you.

Today, we also celebrate all women — in our organisation and beyond — whose strength, resilience, and brilliance make our communities better every day.

Here’s to the women who lead with purpose, create space for others to grow, and make Willows stronger every day 💜

Happy International Women’s Day!

January can feel like a long month with its short days and long nights.
You might have heard the third Monday of January described as 'Blue Monday' but we love the Samaritans idea of 'Brew Monday'. Having a chance to share a cuppa and connect with someone we trust can make such a difference to our mood.

Who could you share a drink and a conversation with this week?
