Whilst many counselling psychologists have done excellent work, there are many questions to be raised. Have the structures which came into being around 10–12 years ago helped or hindered? Have we had sufficient empirical tools to hand to test the outcomes of our labours? Is the current training wide enough and deep enough? What of our theoretical concerns and value systems?These issues are briefly commented upon and pointers to the future are outlined with the hope that a kind reader might be encouraged to pursue a refreshed direction with beneficial outcomes for their varied clients.

Research suggests that a therapist who works dynamically with their own explicit and implicit beliefs and attitudes, sourced in their own multilayered lived experience, may be better able to appreciate, and more accurately perceive, a clients’ lived experience. This study aims to explore counselling psychologists’ narratives around anti-discriminatory practice and to examine how counselling psychologists utilise self-awareness to make meaning of and to address the influence of potentially biasing explicit and implicit beliefs, on the therapeutic process in relation to difference and diversity.Semi-structured interviews were carried out with six qualified counselling psychologists who graduated from UK-based counselling psychology doctoral programmes within five years previous to the study. Verbatim transcripts of the interviews were analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA).The analysis produced three master themes: ‘Views toward anti-discriminatory practice’; ‘Reflections on self-awareness of beliefs and attitudes in relation to difference and diversity’; and ‘Actively working with difference and diversity in the therapy room’.The findings substantiate counselling psychologist’s multifaceted and critical stance on anti-discriminatory practice. Participants were conscious of and sensitive to the relationship between self-awareness of potentially biasing beliefs and attitudes in relation to difference and diversity and therapeutic practice. Moreover, the findings suggest that core humanistic therapeutic skills, when aided by self-awareness and a reflective practice, can monitor potentially biasing and prejudicial attitudes in Counselling Psychology practice, thus providing a foundation for ADP from a counselling psychology perspective.

The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between the discrete facets of personality and dispositional, or trait-like, mindfulness.The study employed a factoral quantitative design and 229 participants completed two online measures, the Five Factor Mindfulness Questionnaire (FFMQ) and the NEO-PI-R Personality Questionnaire. The latter measured the ‘Big Five’ factors of personality (Neuroticism, Extraversion, Openness, Agreeableness and Conscientiousness) and their 30 associated facets. Participant data was analysed via factor analysis utilising scores across all 35 variables, that is, the five dispositional mindfulness domains plus the 30 personality facets.Analysis resulted in the emergence of a five-factor model. These five ‘new’ factors aligned closely with the ‘Big Five’ personality factors. Hence, dispositional mindfulness domains were statistically indistinct from established factors of personality. Notably, three out of the five FFMQ dispositional mindfulness domains (namely, Non-Judging of Inner Experience, Non-Reactivity to Inner Experience, and Acting with Awareness) loaded inversely on to the ‘Neuroticism’ factor. Additionally, two FFMQ domains (Acting with Awareness and Describing) loaded positively on to ‘Conscientiousness’, while one FFMQ domain (Observe) loaded positively on to ‘Openness’. These results align with previous studies conducted at factor level and deepen understanding of facet- level relationships.Mindfulness training as a clinical intervention is now utilised extensively, often within the context of a broader counselling approach. The results of this study suggest that tailoring such clinical mindfulness interventions more to the client’s particular personality and needs may maximise benefit and negate the possibility of harmful consequences. For example, accentuating self-compassion, perhaps by setting the work in the context of a richer compassion-based approach, could be beneficial for a deeply self-critical client scoring highly on Neuroticism.

At the heart of counselling psychology (CoP) practice is the use of the therapeutic relationship (TR). However, there is little research about the TR and schizophrenia/schizoaffective from a CoP or client perspective.The aim of this study was to explore how adults diagnosed with schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder experience the TR and discover what factors influence the relationship.Four participants were interviewed and the data was analysed using thematic analysis.The analysis revealed six main themes: TR is special; trust; TR is a mirror; the management of symptoms; therapist factors; and client factors.The results indicate that clients with schizophrenia/schizoaffective generally experience a positive TR. Practitioners might encourage a healthy TR by giving the client power and control, creating trustworthiness, being open to symptoms, showing understanding, having a flexible approach and offering self-disclosure. The strengths of the study included the original design and aims of the study, the TR as a primary focus, the characteristics of the participants, respondent validation and the emphasis on client perspectives. Key limitations of the study were the small number of participants, lack of data saturation, over-representation of female participants and the use of one coder.The study suggests that clients with schizophrenia/schizoaffective disorder generally develop a positive therapeutic relationship. The study offers client-based insight about the therapeutic relationship and provides recommendations on how clinicians can use these insights to aid their practice.

Detransition – reverting to birth assigned gender after transition to another gender – may be considered to be a part of people’s exploration of their gender; but may also cause regret if irreversible changes have been undertaken. In nationalised healthcare it is therefore important to determine rates of detransition as they are important in ensuring health and wellbeing.End rates of detransition of patients at The Nottingham Centre for Transgender Health were reviewed. Taking a random sample of patient files (N=303), all were thoroughly investigated for any evidence of detransitioning.Only one case of a detransition was found (0.33 per cent). An additional two cases had noted a history of detransition before coming to the Nottingham Centre for Transgender Health specifically (0.99 per cent).This study concludes that the standards of care used within this service therefore appear to be working satisfactorily in relation to detransition. With such a low prevalence, there is no justification in slowing the pathway for other patients in order to prevent detransition as such slowing would likely have a deleterious effect on the mental health of the vast majority.

This article seeks to demystify Gender Dysphoria by offering a theoretical framework to formulate dissonance between the internal sense of gender (through interoceptive, proprioceptive, and exteroceptive sensation), body image, and socialisation. We will focus on the psychotherapeutic applicability of this model, offering a clinical case example and suggesting concrete psychological explorations of the person’s relationship with the mirror.
