When our schoolteachers, nurses, care assistants, GPs and therapists are overwhelmingly female then the optics can’t be ignored….

I accept that men and women have different expectations and experiences in life. And that shapes both therapeutic process and client needs. For example, parenthood and menopause hit differently for men and are in general discussed less often! And I suppose that is political in a way

Good to see BACP acknowledging some of the issues surrounding men’s access to psychotherapy. Am encouraged by their calls for more men to enter this “feminised” (their word) profession. #therapistsky #therapistsconnect #blueskytherapists

Here’s my take. I resent having to hear voices that I trust endorsing a platform that erodes the value and viability of our profession. As a kicker, they are helping to line the pockets of US tech bros and investors whose values I (and I suspect they) find repellent. 🤑💰 #podcast #advertising

Welcomed a client today with the words “Come in and make yourself uncomfortable”. Anyone else have a favourite session ice-breaker? #therapistsky #therapistsconnect #blueskytherapists
