Get involved

We鈥檙e offering a limited number of private practitioners free access to an online system to manage client case notes, review progress and explore outcomes, until at least February 2022.

The aim of the project is to evaluate the online platform (Pragmatic Tracker) in terms of usability, practitioner experiences and the feasibility of rolling out the system on a larger scale, with consideration of necessary resources.

As well as piloting the system, this project will enable you to contribute to the evidence base for counselling and psychotherapy in a traditionally under-researched area. Members who are currently taking part in the project say that they鈥檝e received very positive feedback from their clients and they鈥檝e found that it can enhance the therapeutic relationship.

If you鈥檇 like to find out more about this project and how to get involved, visit our Advancing Practice through Tracking (AdaPT) webpage.


Older people are under-represented in third sector services 鈥 what can we do about it?

Data collected from 2,757 clients across six third sector counselling services has indicated low access rates to counselling for adults over 50.聽Only 24.5% of clients were 50 and over and access rates decreased further with age.

This study explores the implications for practice with consideration to addressing barriers to older adults seeking counselling through mental health promotion and adapting communication during counselling.

It also reports on low completion of routine outcome measures in counselling services and how this poses a challenge to demonstrating the effectiveness of services. It considers the need to support counselling services in the use of routine outcome measures.
