We are starting a monthly initiative of sharing the knowledge and expertise of our counsellors and therapists. We will be posting articles about counselling, mental health, therapy, and many other related issues. Some of these have been published already elsewhere, some are written specifically for the readers of our website. We hope you enjoy them and we will appreciate your comments and feedback!

We are starting off with Debbie Hegarty’s “On Becoming an Integrative Psychotherapist”, which will be of interest both to those who are considering a career in psychotherapy, and to those who are simply curious about the tricks of the trade.
