Just realised that I've been a supervisor for 12 years! Still love it as much as my therapy work... it's a blessing to be holding this work - even in an indirect way - in the respectful and nurturing way that the supervision space can (thoughtfully) provide. #TherapistsConnect #Therapistsky

👎 to the ‘trend’ of unpaid work in our profession 👍 for advocating for all qualified therapists to be paid…maybe even one day,trainee therapists to be recognised as proper apprentices, with guess what-a wage 😮 Working therapists deserve respect! Working therapists deserve to earn a decent wage!

Is it me or does it look like they’re posing as an 18th century Lord and Lady, for a new painting for the drawing room?! Lord Reuben and Lady Lily-Rose of Cl’ham 👑 I always get suspicious when I find them doing things like this… 😂🥰 #Photography

The end to another full client week, doing what I’m trained to do as a psychotherapist and counsellor. There’s no time here for an existential crisis about the value of therapy… 😉 Going into the weekend with a heart full of ‘good enough’. Say it with me folks 😊🙏 #TherapistsConnect #Therapistsky

Maintaining the integrity of therapy - what it is & how we do it, is arguably even more essential in difficult & uncertain times. The ethos & ethics of psychotherapy + counselling needs to be preserved for us to keep existing as a profession, & for our work to have meaning. #TherapistsConnect

Call me cynical, but I’m kind of loving how the phrase ‘portfolio working’ is being used as a groovy, plush term to cover up the lack of paid jobs in our profession 😏 #TherapistsConnect
