2024/07/08

Whether you’re a parent yourself, you know a child or you’re a child therapist then there are certain things you just need to know about child therapy. These facts can help child therapy be more successful, “easier” and it can improve the life of the child in the long term. I remember talking to a doctor once who worked with teenagers with eating disorders and she mentioned how the parents were the actual problem and main barrier to treatment. And if parents just knew a few more things then maybe

2024/06/27

As a result of homophobia, transphobia and minority stress amongst other factors, there is a higher rate of mental health difficulties and conditions in the LGBT+ community compared to the general population. Also, LGBT+ individuals are more likely to be hate crimed and experience trauma in their lifetime so the need for psychological support and therapy is high. However, straight therapists often worry about whether they should work with a gay client or not because of the differences between them

2024/06/24

The vast majority of people have heard of Post-TraumaticStress Disorder (PTSD) before when it comes to veterans and soldiers. Also, we know this mental health condition involves flashbacks, intrusive memories and panic attacks, but beyond that a lot of laypeople don’t know that much about Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. I’m only starting to learn more about PTSD because I have it because of my sexual assault, so whilst I don’t talk about it in this episode, my own experiences make this important to

With the university year ending and many students returning home for the summer to see their families, catch up with old friends and live in cheaper (or even free) accommodation, this is a time of year that is both great and difficult for LGBT+ people. If you or your client are closeted or if your family is homophobic then returning home can be difficult and decreases your mental health. This isn’t good.

2024/06/13

Continuing our celebration of Pride Month here on the podcast, I want to look at the benefits of gender-affirming care on transgender youth. Since gender-affirming care saves lives, it improves mental health and it decreases gender dysphoria and the associated negative mental health outcomes. However, one debate that is raging across the world is whether underage transgender youth should be allowed to undergo gender-affirming care if they’re going through a mental health crisis. A crisisthat could

2024/06/10

When it comes to working with autistic individuals so we can support them, decrease their psychological distress and improve their lives, their perceptions are critical. Since we can have all the knowledge in the world but if our clients don’t think that the space supports them or if our therapy space distresses them, then this will hurt the therapeutic alliance. In turn, this will increase the chance of the therapy not being successful, so this is why creating a neurodiversity-affirming space is so

One of the new sections in my brand-new book ClinicalPsychology: Second Edition is all about the Mental Capacity Act (2005).

2024/05/20

There comes a point in all our lives when a friend or lovedone goes through something that hurts them, rattles them or it even traumatises them. When this happens we can feel powerless or helpless to support them because we can see how badly it’s affected them and we have no idea how to support them. Or even worse in my experience, we want to support them even more but we know this can’t happen because it would turn a relationship into something that isn’t healthy.

Research suggest that men get raped and sexually assaulted as often as women by both men and women. Yet male rape is a lot less reported because of societal factors, gender roles and a whole bunch of horrible myths that stop men from reporting rape and sexual assault. Also, it’s important to note that talking about male rape isn’t about stopping or taking the focus away from female rape, instead it’s actually about highlighting something that isn’t spoken about in society. All rape and sexual
