Parliament Debates Benefits of Counselling and Psychotherapy

It is encouraging to see the topic of counselling and psychotherapy being discussed in the Houses of Parliament during a recent debate.

The debate was on the Benefits of Counselling and Psychotherapy with focus on the 10-Year Mental Health and Wellbeing Plan. Kevan Jones MP spoke about the crucial role of early intervention in mental health and emphasised the need for preventative measures.

It is estimated that half of all mental health conditions are established by the age of 14, and 75% of them by the age of 24. Despite this, it is concerning to know that 60% of children and young people with diagnosable mental health conditions do not receive NHS care. This is why Mr. Jones echoed calls of BACP for children to have access to a funded school counsellor at all levels of Education in England.

Rainbow Counselling recognises the benefits of early interventions such as counselling and psychotherapy. With the rising rates of mental ill-health, especially in children and young people, investment in counselling and psychotherapy has become more important than ever.
