Can I encourage people to submit papers for these awards (below) - for both, but especially the New Research Award, which is primarily for trainees and newly-qualified trainees. This journal, Counselling and Psychotherapy Research, is a very good place to try and get doctoral-level research published!

Best wishes,

Nick
