They did it! 🏃‍♀️ 🏃‍♂️

A huge congratulations to Dr Hannah Friend, Dr Peter Pearce and Rita Moran, who completed yesterday's Ealing Half Marathon to raise vital funds for the Metanoia Counselling and Psychotherapy Service (MCPS).

And an incredible achievement from Rita, who finished as the fastest woman in her age category and the 13th fastest woman overall!

The race might be over, but the fundraising isn't. We're keeping our donations page open to help push the total over the line and provide free counselling and psychotherapy sessions for people who may otherwise struggle to afford them.

They've done the 13.1 miles. Now you can help us go the extra mile.

Tomorrow, Team Metanoia are running the Ealing Half Marathon. The aim? To raise money to provide free therapy for those who may otherwise struggle to access it.

All funds raised will go towards the Metanoia Counselling and Psychotherapy Service (MCPS). MCPS is already one of London's largest low-cost counselling and psychotherapy services, supporting around 800 people over the past year alone. Now, we want to go further by raising funds that will be used to waive client fees to help even more people access the service.

There's still time to show your support. To help make every mile count, please consider donating to or sharing our fundraiser. Just click the link here: https://buff.ly/q1pCajF

👏 Congratulations to our Metanoia colleague Senior Lecturer Sam Clark, whose article has been published in the BACP’s Children, Young People & Families journal.

In the article, Sam explores the diverse ways young people understand and express gender, s*xuality, relationships and s*x, drawing on Channel 4’s Virgin Island as a point of reference.

It’s fantastic to see our colleagues contributing their expertise to important conversations across the counselling and psychotherapy profession.

We’re delighted to see research by three Metanoia Institute colleagues, Dr Giovanna Bucci, Dr Michelle R***r and Dr Alistair McBeath, featured in this month’s Therapy Today Research Digest.

Their paper explores the experiences of European counselling psychology and psychotherapy trainees living and working in the UK after Brexit.

The research highlights how uncertainty around personal and professional safety, fears of exposure to racism and ‘othering’, and feelings of inadequacy can affect trainees’ experiences of belonging. It also considers the important role training institutions and professional bodies can play in supporting international trainees and creating safer, more inclusive environments.

A fantastic contribution to an important and timely conversation within the profession. Congratulations Giovanna, Michelle and Alistair!

We’re delighted to see Metanoia student William Njoki featured in the October edition of Therapy Today.

In his article, ‘Zamani’, William explores how our present-day experiences can carry echoes of family, culture and history across generations. Drawing on his own Kenyan family history, the work of African philosopher John S Mbiti, and his person-centred training, he considers how therapists might make space for these wider influences without imposing meaning on a client’s experience.

At its heart is a powerful question: can therapy remain firmly rooted in the present while also making room for the familial, cultural and historical past that surrounds us?

William also reflects on collaboration as an ethical safeguard, ensuring that when therapists explore family, cultural or historical meanings, the client remains the author of their own story.

A thoughtful and thought-provoking contribution from one of our students, bringing African philosophy into conversation with contemporary therapeutic practice.

Congratulations, William!

We're going the extra mile for mental health. Will you help us get to the finish line?

The Ealing Half Marathon is almost here, and Team Metanoia is running to raise money to help provide free counselling and psychotherapy through the Metanoia Counselling and Psychotherapy Service (MCPS), supporting people who may otherwise struggle to afford the help they need.

We're aiming for £1,100, and there's still time to help us reach our target.

Every donation, big or small, can help someone take that first step towards accessing support.

Please donate and help Team Metanoia cross the finish line for better mental health.
