Last night at the Golden Globes, Erin Doherty took a moment to thank therapists in her acceptance speech. It’s a thoughtful public acknowledgement of the incredible, but often unseen, work that therapists and counsellors do every day.

Always a privilege to represent our members @pcunion.bsky.social
PCU recently met with representatives from BACP.
We had a constructive discussion on a range of topics, including concerns that our members have raised previously.
We view this as a positive step in the ongoing relationship between PCU and BACP, we hope to continue building on this progress.
