Hello all.
We aim to make this a shared experience and invite blogs from other counsellors, psychotherapists, trainees, supervisees, clients and any subscribers that have got something to say! Just send us your blog in email form for proofing and hey presto you will have made your mark in the world of blogging.
Blogs can be about anything and everything therapeutic, so share your stories, experiences, musings, questions, thoughts on theories and approaches, metaphors etc etc etc, I’m sure you get the picture! (or perhaps audio or even at a body level). Just for clarification on our language, when our posts say ‘we’, ‘us’ or ‘our’ this either means Ongoing Support as an organisation, or Dena and Mark as authors. We will either leave the post as is, or sign our names at the bottom of each post depending on who psychobabbled.
Remember! We also have our webpage (although not interactive), facebook page and we are also on twitter, so start following us today.
Well I hope you enjoy this blog, and I hope you are patient with all the initial changes and organising while I learn about the software and experiment with it for a while.

You may have noticed the ‘get involved’ section on the right hand side of this page. We have made it ultra easy for you to register your interest in our workshops and training, in fact your votes will actually help us to build our first years training programme.
We will be adding workshop ideas regularly, so check back every now and again and keep voting. The lastest addition is ‘attachment’ so go ahead and register your vote if its something you would like to explore further by attending a workshop.
If you just see the ‘results’ then refresh your page (F5) or look near the bottom for a ‘vote’ button, which will bring you back to the tick-box selection again.
Happy voting
We have now fixed the problem of only being allowed to check one box. You can now select as many as you like in one go, however please only vote once for each workshop you are interested in. Thanks
