Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ethical Framework 2026: A conversation with the BACP
Q: What sort of notes should I be keeping in order to reflect the ethics or the ethical decisions that I'm making or the rationale?
Nicola says notes should be relevant, accurate, secure, confidential and limited to what is necessary, with the approach shaped by the client's needs, the practitioner's setting and applicable requirements. Practitioners can discuss their reasoning in supervision.
Ethical Framework 2026: A conversation with the BACP
Q: What were you most hoping to improve through the new framework?
Nicola says the review aimed to reflect more collaborative work with clients, while Marita says the new decision-making tool helps practitioners articulate their reasoning and identify how they sought support.
How to Feel More Confident Working with Couples - with Claire Ratcliffe
Q: Do you find that couples only come to you when they're in crisis, or are you able to intervene earlier?
Claire explains that couples present both in crisis and earlier in the relationship, emphasizing that motivation and willingness to engage in change are crucial, and that good outcomes depend on addressing underlying patterns rather than just symptoms.
Working with Eating Disorders When You're Not a Specialist - with Kel O'Neill
Q: What's a practical first step for a therapist wanting to learn more about eating disorders?
Attend conferences or workshops that present diverse perspectives, including lived experience voices, and use those to broaden your understanding beyond a purely medical model.
Working with Eating Disorders When You're Not a Specialist - with Kel O'Neill
Q: How should therapists gauge their competence to work with someone who may have an eating disorder?
Competence isn't about knowing every detail of every presentation; it's about offering a safe space, knowing when to seek supervision or refer, and ensuring you have pathways to multidisciplinary support.
