Nice to see @MaccSamaritans out at Macclesfield Train Station for #BlueMonday ππ. A gentle reminder that there's no shame in needing help when you're struggling, it takes courage to reach out π.
Also a gentle PSA, if you're in need of counselling support 1/2

Trainings and conferences arenβt the only way to grow as a therapist.
Iβve found itβs the small and steady things I do day after day that lead to the most growth.
Hereβs 6 things you can start doing today:

We did it ππ! Today I graduated with a First Class Honours degree in Counselling and Psychotherapy. I'm made up for myself!
Despite everything I lost, I gained so much π. So here's to me πΎ & here's to my dad who I'd have loved to have had by my side today π·#therapistsconnect

Hard to say βhappyβ Pride month tbh when the Trans community, of all ages in the UK are being vilified in every part of our society. So I am pleading that you donβt believe what you read on here or in some media. Itβs what they did to us Gays back in the 80βs. #PrideMonth
I'm now just shy of qualifying as a PCE therapist, after 4 years in education, and due to finish my degree with honours. I also have a place to call home and I'm leaving this experience with lifelong friends and a wealth of knowledge. I'm nearly there! π₯°. #therapistsconnect 2/2

Say what? @thismorning all counsellors complete a minimum of two years vigorous training, quite often more. No membership body such as @bacp or @ncs_counselling would register them without. Itβs dangerous putting such harmful info out to the public! #TherapistsConnect
The information on @thismorning about Therapists just being able to take an online course isn't correct. This is what @BACP is for @hollywills
Who does the research on this show @ITV ?
For years I dreamt of becoming a therapist. It feels like madness to be sat just shy of 6 months away from completing my degree, especially after living through what felt like the worst year of my life. I'm made up with how far I've come! π #TherapistsConnect

Your empathy could be the greatest gift you could give to someone.
The amount of self-development that needs to happen, before you can sit in the therapist seat. Life changing!
Therapist friends,
What is something that has surprised you about being a therapist?

A little can go a long way, spread the word π³οΈβππ
We've set up a QTBPOC therapy fund for 20 people to access therapy every week for a year. We'll be training 20 RTN members to deliver the highest quality therapy that is trans-cultural, anti-racist, trans affirmative & intersectional. Spread the wordπ shorturl.at/jpxFI

As you honor my father today, please remember and honor my mother, as well.
She was the architect of the King Legacy and founder of @TheKingCenter, which she founded two months after Daddy was assassinated.
Without #CorettaScottKing, there would be no #MLKDay. #MLK
