At the end of this working week, I would like to show my sympathy and support here to counsellors and psychotherapists working with or in Console while the organisation is making the news in such a saddening way.  I know I have felt the after-effects personally and professionally all this week, and I can only imagine the effect the bad news had on people doing valuable work in suicide prevention and bereavement under the Console name, and on their clients. 

The financial scandal currently surrounding Console affects people who have fundraised, donated, and worked with the organisation as therapist or as client.  Just particularly this week I have been thinking of the counsellors and psychotherapists working under that organisational name.  I know that suicide prevention, and bereavement support, can be slow and delicate work that involves building up trust with the client.  It is my hope that people who have been getting support through Console have not had their therapy badly affected by what is on the news about the organisation.  I hope that therapists who have been supporting people through Console have been able to find support themselves after hearing about the apparent betrayal of trust at the top.

Best wishes, Anne

This year 2016 I am taking a professional training course in supervision.  Part of the training programme requirements are to complete practice supervision hours over the duration of the course.

I am seeking participants to meet for six 1-hour sessions, for this free peer-to-peer additional support in your work.

If you are interested in participating, please contact me by email on This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it., or through the contact form on this website.

The training is for supervision in the helping professions, so this support will be relevant for anyone working in the support or caring professions dealing with the general public.  CPD certificates supplied for the six hours.
