I would say it is high time for more regulation within counselling and psychotherapy professions. Different levels of training should (Levels 4 through to 7) be differentiated, so that clients can tell what qualifications a therapist has. A counsellor with a level 4 qualification may be an excellent therapist and a level 7 psychotherapist might need more training, but least clients can become more informed in who they choose.

What are your thoughts?

BBC News - Can anyone call themself a therapist or a counsellor?

A lack of regulation around private therapy and counselling can leave some qualifications meaningless.

I like this quote, but it could include '...you are not the sum of your thoughts'. We all have strange thoughts occasionally, but these most definitely do not define who we are and how others see us.

A major part of therapy is supporting the development of client's reflective function. In layman's terms 'personal awareness'. If we build our understanding of ourselves, naturally we start to change our own well-being in more positive directions.

"I can't change the direction of the wind, but I can adjust my sails to always reach my destination."

Saw this photo and it reminded me of the above quote. The first step in any personal change process is always the most important, it starts us in a different direction and makes us face something we potentially didn't want to see before.

Humour isn't often talked about in therapeutic literature; however it plays an important part in therapy. If mutual, it enables the therapist and client to have an authentic moment of connection, where just for a brief moment the lightness of life conquers the dark.

The difference between psychodynamic therapy and CBT (Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy).

Some CBT therapists might understandably disagree with this, stating they explore more than negative thoughts and feelings; however I think this table does rightly highlight the difference in the approaches.

I think a good therapist should employ all these different techniques, sometimes it's important to be able to cope with your day-to-day thoughts and feelings in order to in time explore where they developed in your past.

For the past two days I have been at Mind's national conference. Amazing to see and meet so many local Minds and hear about the amazing work they are doing.

The provision of mental health services is hugely important to support those in need. Unfortunately it is still massively under funded in our society. If you were thinking about fundraising this next year, please consider Mind or your local Mind.
