In my early professional years I was asking the question: How can I treat, or cure, or change this person? Now I would phrase the question in this way: How can I provide a relationship which this person may use for his own personal growth?

Am I the only one who feels like our professional bodies should be the ones using their weight to campaign for universal access to counselling and psychotherapy, rather than partnering up with online providers that push wages down and obfuscate data privacy. #TherapistsConnect
