In the aftermath of infidelity, accountability is often the missing piece. Too often, the betrayed partner is left carrying the heavy work of healing while the unfaithful partner minimises, avoids, or even gets a free pass from professionals who should know better. But without accountability, there can be no real repair. In this episode, Luke explores what accountability actually looks like, why it's so often resisted, and why shame, vulnerability, and societal conditioning make it so difficult. He also unpacks how accountability links to breaking painful intergenerational cycles, and why the betrayed partner's need for balance must be taken seriously. Key Takeaways Accountability is not endless self-punishment, it's owning your choices, acknowledging the harm caused, and committing to change. Shame often blocks accountability; separating actions from identity can make it possible. Betrayed partners frequently do the heavy lifting, but without accountability from the unfaithful partner, the relationship rests on a tilted foundation. Counsellors and support systems sometimes mishandle accountability, either due to cultural factors, poor training, or the betrayed's lens of pain, but validation and directness are essential. True accountability is about breaking cycles: recognising old wounds, refusing to repeat them, and creating something healthier for the future.

Minute meetings look great on a spreadsheet. But do they actually help kids? In this episode of Graded, I dig into where this practice really came from, the myths we've built around it, and the risks nobody's talking about, and I'll share what to do instead.Minute meetings have taken on near-folklore status in school counseling. They're all over Pinterest, pushed in Facebook groups, and praised as the “must-do” way to reach every student. But here's the problem: they didn't come from research. They came from a 2011 blog post that went viral because it looked proactive and admin-friendly.I'll unpack why so many counselors have latched onto them, and the real costs hiding under the surface: wasted time, shaky privacy practices, legal risks, and the illusion of equity. Most importantly, you'll leave with stronger, evidence-backed alternatives- systematic data analysis, teacher consultation, and SEL strategies- that replace documentation theater with practices that actually change outcomes.If you've ever wondered whether minute meetings are helping or quietly hurting your program, this episode is for you.References (Annotated)American School Counselor Association. (2005). The ASCA National Model: A framework for school counseling programs (2nd ed.). Alexandria, VA: Author. This framework formalized the profession's shift toward “comprehensive, data-driven” programs. Its expectations created pressure on counselors to prove contact and impact—conditions that made quick-fix strategies like minute meetings appealing.Dahir, C. A., & Stone, C. B. (2006). The transformed school counselor. Belmont, CA: Brooks/Cole. Captures the post-ASCA Model climate of accountability and data demands. This context helps explain why counselors gravitated toward visible, trackable practices like minute meetings, even without research support.Kathuria, T., & Pandya, A. (2023). Can a five-minute meeting improve the wellbeing of students? The Indian school experience. Journal of Psychologists and Counsellors in Schools, 33(2), 1–11. https://doi.org/10.1017/jgc.2023.12 The only peer-reviewed study even remotely related to “minute meetings.” Though conducted in India and using a different model (five minutes, not one), it highlights how little empirical research exists to validate this practice in U.S. schools.Schultz, D. (2011, December 28). Got a minute? School Counselor Blog. https://www.schcounselor.com/2011/12/got-minute.html Earliest known mention of “minute meetings” in the school counseling world. *********************************⭐️ Want support with real-world strategies that actually work on your campus?

Jeremy Sachs joins me to explore how identity, masculinity, and shame shape male survivors' healing — and what therapists need to know.In this episode of Good Enough Counsellors, I'm speaking with therapist and author Jeremy Sachs about his upcoming book, An Intersectional Guide for Male Survivors of Sexual Abuse and their Allies: Masculinity Reconnected (Routledge, July 2025).Drawing on years of experience running recovery groups for men, boys, and trans survivors, Jeremy brings a deeply compassionate and intersectional lens to a subject often left in the shadows.We talk about how myths about masculinity, cultural shame, and systemic failure can all affect whether survivors seek help — and how they experience it. Jeremy also shares practical reflections for therapists and allies who want to work more effectively with male clients.⚠️ Content warning: This episode includes discussion of sexual abuse, trauma, and the failings of healthcare and justice systems. Please listen with care.Takeaways:Why Jeremy wrote this book — and how male survivors shaped each chapterWhat we mean by masculinity, and how cultural expectations harm survivorsThe role of shame, silence, and developmental trauma in male experiencesHow Black men and trans men may face unique stigma and barriers to careWhat “intersectionality” looks like in real therapeutic workWhy disclosure is complex — and how therapists can respond with empathyThe idea of “sexual selves” and how Western norms disconnect men from their bodiesWhat transformative justice is — and why some survivors seek it outside systemsThe essential role of allyship and community in recoveryYou can find Jeremy and order his book here: https://jeremysachs.comSetting up in private practice?

If you want to attract more clients to your private practice, your therapist profile needs to show people that they'll be safe with you.In this episode, we're talking about how a simple inclusion statement can make the difference between someone reaching out — or quietly clicking away. I share a personal story about almost contacting a therapist, and why I didn't, and explore what therapists can do to show they're truly inclusive.I'll walk you through why these statements matter, what often holds us back from writing them, and what you can include — even if you're still learning.If you've ever wondered how to make your practice more welcoming and visible to people from marginalised communities, this one's for you.Takeaways:Why inclusion statements help the right clients feel safe enough to reach outWhat silence on your profile might be saying (without you realising)Common fears therapists have about getting it wrong — and why it's okay to start smallSimple ideas for what to include in a statement that feels genuineReal-life examples of inclusive therapist websites that workSetting up in private practice?

It makes a big difference to outcomes.In 2024 the British Association for Counsellors and Psychotherapy (BACP) released an Ethical framework for working with Addictions and also a set of 'Addictions competence framework' for counsellors working with or intending to work with Compulsions and Addictions. I guess it did so for a reason.Compulsions and Addictions Therapy is a specialised area of work. There is a need to ensure Counsellors and Therapists achieve minimal standards for working with such clients.These are some of the Foundational competences:Knowledge competences - knowledge and understanding of addictionsKnowledge of the range of addictions services and treatment options availableknowledge and understanding of recovery in addictions counsellingKnowledge of engagement issues specific to addictions counsellingKnowledge and understanding of the impact of co-occurring mental and physical health issues and addiction problemsMeta-competences: "Meta-competences encompass aspects of abstract clinical judgment required to decide when to implement different elements of the addictions counselling competence framework, and how and apply them in a coherent and informed manner."Ethical Framework: "....The framework sets out the knowledge, skills and abilities required for counsellors and psychotherapists to work safely and effectively with adults living with addiction.….."Therapists - 'at least do no harm'.The Kairos Centre has all the Competences to come alongside you on your journey to reclaiming your life, bring colour to life, without shame.Here is my fund raising page.

Prince Andrew, the Duke of York, was effectively removed from his position as a Counsellor of State—a role that allows senior royals to deputize for the monarch—due to a series of controversies and legal challenges. In 2019, Prince Andrew stepped back from public duties following a disastrous BBC interview concerning his association with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The interview led to widespread criticism and intensified scrutiny of his conduct. Subsequently, in January 2022, amid a civil sexual assault lawsuit filed in the U.S. by Virginia Giuffre, Prince Andrew was stripped of his military titles and royal patronages, and he ceased using the title "His Royal Highness" in an official capacity.In November 2022, further distancing him from royal responsibilities, the House of Lords debated and passed the Counsellors of State Act 2022. This legislation effectively removed Prince Andrew and Prince Harry from the list of royals eligible to serve as Counsellors of State by stipulating that only "working members of the royal family" could undertake such roles. As a result, Princess Anne and Prince Edward were added to the list, ensuring that only active royals would represent the monarch when necessary.(commercial at 7:32)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-63391630Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Appreciating Radhanath Maharaja's mood 1 Address to counsellors, Chowpatty, Mumbai by Exploring mindfulness, yoga and spirituality

[Update] here is the information about who the Secretary of the ACA is https://theaca.net.au/board-and-gover... , however again, no easily / readily accessible information on their contact details. Could the statement, "A member will not make any derogatory or insulting remark against the Association" be perceived as a restriction to your free speech as a member of the Australian Counselling Association (ACA)? What if the ACA didn't provide you with a definition of what a derogatory or insulting remark was? And what if the Code of Ethics and Practice requires you as a member, to take your concern only to the Secretary and then to abide by their direction to you, yet the information on who the Secretary is, is not readily accessible (ie, they are not included on the website with the rest of the Employees), nor is their contact information readily accessible and nor is any information provided about the Directions that the Secretary can provide to you? The latest version of the Code of Ethics and Practice V16 seems to be largely consistent with its previous V15 except for the introduction of 16.5: Responsibility to Colleagues and Others, subsection iv. My guidance to members of the ACA is to reflect on the newest clause and consider requesting definitions of 'criticism', 'derogatory remark', and 'insulting remark' are included in the Definitions section of the Code; that the details and contact information for the Secretary be included in 16.5 (iv) for ease of reference and that a list of Directions that can be made by the Secretary are also included for transparency. This aside, other suggestions would be for the ACA to incorporate inclusive language in the Code and to include definitions of Counsellors v Registered Counsellors. This is important as the two terms are used at different times throughout the document without explanation. It is difficult for members to know what applies to them (or not) without such definitions. The podcast you are about to listen to is a side-by-side comparison of the previous version of the Code with the newest version. I am not a member of the ACA and have attempted to be impartial with respect to the critique / overview of the Code. Any opinions expressed in the video are my own and are my professional opinion only. All comments, thoughts and questions on this video are welcome if they are respectful. I love hearing different perspectives, different points of view and differing opinion and believe that's a wonderful way for us all to learn from each other.  If you would rather watch the video and see the side-by-side comparison, you can do so here. #aca #counsellors #codeofethics
