Authors: Abuteen Eman 
Published: January 2023

In this paper, we discussed a new Sumudu transform iterative method and successfully applied on linear and nonlinear fractional integro-differential equations. The obtained results are compatible with those that have been obtained by other methods. The fractional derivative here is described in the Caputo sense. The proposed method is found to be powerful and efficient.
Becoming hope-free: Parallels between death of individuals and extinction of homo sapiens
Authors: McPherson Guy R. 
Published: January 2023

The belief in a positive future, or hope, is not useful when presenting a person with a terminal diagnosis. Wishful thinking is no route to recovery, and it might interfere with the ability of a person to complete relationships during their final days. Hospice is a particularly effective strategy for palliative, end-of-life care. Similarly, hospice is an obvious strategy to address the near-term demise of homo sapiens.‘The great enemy of grief is hope. Hope is the four-letter word for people who are unwilling to know things for what they are. Our time requires us to be hope-free. To burn through the false choice of being hopeful and hopeless. They are two sides of the same con job. Grief is required to proceed.’(Stephen Jenkinson)

Connecting to the ecological and climate crisis
Authors: Coates Katy Woodward 
Published: January 2023

This article is a reflective account of the author’s developing engagement with the climate crisis, from initial awareness to first steps into activism. The author also highlights social justice issues in light of the crisis, and asks what role clinical psychologists have in understanding different responses to the climate crisis.‘I wish it need not have happened in my time,’ said Frodo. ‘So do I,’ said Gandalf, ‘and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.’(JRR Tolkien, Fellowship of the Ring)

Methodological Paper: Making methodological choice in qualitative counselling research
Authors: West William 
Published: January 2023

Content and FocusIn this paper I explore the vexed question of how we choose a suitable methodology when undertaking qualitative research in counselling psychology. Drawing on computing I put forward an algorithm in the form of a set of questions to help make the decision. These include the volume, quality and analysis of the expected data, and the role of the researcher and researcher’s own data within some of the commonly used methodologies. Finally I suggest that it is well worth slowly repeating these decision making processes, (iteration) until the outcome is clear.
Editorial What is a systematic review?
Authors: Hanley Terry , Cutts Laura 
Published: January 2023

Content & FocusThis Special Edition of Counselling Psychology Review is focused on systematic reviews. Whilst considering the topic for the editorial to begin this Special Edition, we considered one overarching question to be of fundamental importance to attempt to tackle: What is a systematic review? We decided to have this as the focus of the editorial in part as a result of discussions with colleagues (both trainee and qualified psychologists) whose awareness of the answers to the following questions proved limited: What is a systematic review?; Why are they conducted?; and What does one look like? Following a brief introduction focused on the history and context surrounding the systematic review, we have, therefore, aimed to address each of these questions in turn. To end this initial section of the editorial, we provide readers with a check list of possible sections contained within a systematic review. The aim of this is to hopefully elaborate on the definitions and the discussions already considered, in order to help the reader more clearly understand what a systematic review really is. Following this we provide an overview of the seven papers incorporated into this Special Edition. Five of these provide very practical examples of the factors noted below in action while two provide further methodological reflections around the use of such research designs.
Theoretical Paper The ethical considerations of counselling psychologists working with trauma: Is there a risk of vicarious traumatisation?
Authors: Iqbal Amirah 
Published: January 2023

Content & FocusThis paper will discuss the importance of professional and ethical guidelines for both Qualified Counselling Psychologists and Counselling Psychologists in Training when working in the field of trauma. It will also explore some of the challenges therapists may face when taking these guidelines into account. This paper will present a case vignette on how vicarious traumatisation may present, as well as how it may affect therapists before moving on to discussing how for some people trauma can lead to vicarious resilience. This paper questions if it should be compulsory to introduce trauma awareness courses prior to psychologists working with trauma survivors or within professional training programmes and concludes with suggestions of how therapists may prevent and/or manage vicarious trauma including the importance of self-care.

ObjectivesThis study aimed to understand the older adults’ subjective experiences of the therapy process.MethodsNine older adults aged 68 to 82 years old volunteered to talk about their experiences of receiving Psychological Therapy within a secondary care service. A Constructivist Grounded theory method and unstructured interviews were used to capture their retrospective accounts.ResultsThe Grounded Theory analysis revealed categories and themes which produced a theory that explained the process of therapy for these older adults. The data yielded a core category of ‘moving towards equanimity’, which included four main categories (also 19 sub-categories): (1) sensing continuity and discontinuity within an ageing ‘self’, (2) embodying an awareness of an ageing changing ecology, (3) cultivating a therapeutic relationship, and connecting with wholeness and a new perspective (see figure 1.0).ConclusionsThe core category can be understood as contributing to the participants changing and regaining emotional stability, mental calm and balance. The therapy process moved them towards equanimity by bringing the story of the ‘self’ to a unified whole (Polkinghorne, 1991). A good working alliance allowed the older adult to re-integrate the ‘self’, so that their balance and sense of ‘continuity’ could be renewed (Williams, 1984, p.178). This research provides a rich narrative which strengthens theory and ‘clinical practice links’ (Llewellyn & Hardy, 2001, p.14) and could be used as a procedural approach to look more closely at the therapy journey (Smith & Grawe, 2003). Examining process in therapy and the meaning for older adults positions the client in ‘their social and cultural settings’ (Katz & Mishler, 2003, p.35). It also ‘gives voice’ (Willig, 2001, p.12) to individuals who can often encounter difficulties with being heard.
Counselling psychologists’ experience of the death of a terminally ill client: An interpretative phenomenological analysis
Authors: Palmieri Francesca 
Published: January 2023

Backgrounds/aims:Counselling psychologists’ experiences of the death of a terminally ill client are substantially under-researched even though they are well positioned to work in this area and previous literature indicates that this might be an important area. The present study has aimed to explore how counselling psychologists make sense of their lived experiences of client death. Two subsidiary aims were to explore what drew counselling psychologists to work with terminally ill clients, and to explore their experiences in terms of personal and professional growth.Method:Semi-structured interviews were conducted with seven counselling psychologists who had experienced the death of a terminally ill client. Their accounts were analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA), a qualitative methodology that attempts to illuminate the lived experience of a phenomenon among a small sample of individuals.Findings:Three main superordinate themes emerged from the data: (1) Working within the dying space (working when the client outcome is death); (2) Heightened emotional arousal (the raw emotions of working with the existential crisis of death); and (3) Dynamics between professional and personal identity (conflicting aspects of the two identities).Discussion:This study suggests that counselling psychologists experienced challenges in the complex dynamics between their personal and professional identities, such as ethical dilemmas about whether to attend a funeral and how to set boundaries. Future research could usefully investigate intrinsic motivation to work in this field to support the recruiting of counselling psychologists to work in this area.
The impact of the Mellow Parenting programme on later measures of childhood verbal IQ
Authors: Allely Clare S. , Puckering Christine , Mills Maggie , Cox Anthony D. , Evans Janneke , Maddox Hilary 
Published: January 2023

Aim(s):Development of language is one of the most remarkable and pivotal achievements in early childhood with the majority of children learning to talk by the age of three years. Good language development has major social and academic advantages. Poor language development puts them at an increased risk of behaviour problems, psychiatric disorders, and later educational failure. However, as many as 20 per cent of parents in the UK have concerns over their children’s speech and language development. Early childhood is the most effective and cost-efficient time to ensure that all children develop their full potential.Method/Rationale:The present study investigated the impact of an evaluated parenting programme, Mellow Parenting, delivered when the child was aged between 3 and 5 years on verbal IQ using the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence (WPPSI), and compared the findings to a control group who experienced Care as Usual in nearby nurseries.Findings:The Mellow Parenting programme resulted in a 7.89 point increase in verbal IQ by the target group, sustained over 18 months, using the WPPSI. No such effect was seen in a contrast group, who experienced Care as Usual in nearby nurseries. The programme aims to help them make changes in their relationships including increasing positive parent-child interaction.Conclusions:The present study found that the group intervention, contrasted with Care as Usual in neighbouring family centres, resulted in a clinically significant improvement in the children’s verbal IQ of a magnitude to enable them to enter the school system with age appropriate verbal skills.
‘Only the wind hears you…’ The experiences of Pakistani girls in a primary school: An Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis
Authors: Rizwan Rubia , Williams Antony 
Published: January 2023

The experiences of Pakistani pupils at school are little documented. This article introduces findings from an interpretive phenomenological study that investigated the experiences of a group of Year 6 pupils from a Pakistani cultural background. The interest in exploring the Pakistani experience is timely, as tensions within the current social context have led to the emergence of the term ‘Islamophobia’ (Sheridan, 2006). While the meaning and usefulness of the term islamophobia remains contested, the rising everyday use of such a term reflects a context in which young Pakistani schoolchildren develop a sense of self and seek a sense of place in 21st century Britain.Semi-structured interviews were carried out with four female primary school pupils from Pakistani backgrounds from Year 6, aged between 10 to 11 years old from the same school. The narratives were analysed using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA). The analysis found seven super-ordinate themes: the emotional experience of learning; the cultural impact of the school curriculum; the importance of enduring friendships; the impact of the segregation between communities; the impact of gendered power struggles; the impact of bullying; and the impact of cultural identity.This paper reports a particular focus on how experiences of school intersect and are interwoven with other aspects of the lives of young people such as peer relations, home environment and community culture, which are all important in shaping and developing the children’s sense of who they are. The research has highlighted the potential of young people to express themselves and share views and experiences that can be further investigated in order to discover and create methods of organising together to challenge forms of oppression. Implications for service planning and educational psychologists are discussed.
Developing digital approaches for adolescents and young adults with autism and learning disabilities: Tools to facilitate access and shared decision-making
Authors: Bates Karla , Morgan Hannah , Crosby Emily , Nurse Keisha , Flynn Alison , Stern Didi , Baronian Roupen , Kennedy Emma-Kate 
Published: January 2023

Aims:Digital living is now an integral part of many children and young people’s (CYP) everyday experience. Practitioners who work with them are increasingly focused on effectively deploying technology to help those with social, emotional and mental health (SEMH) needs. Throughout all aspects and phases of work, practitioners must adhere to legal and professional best practice standards in involving service users, person-centred working and in enhancing accessibility for all.Methods:Measures introduced to reduce the spread of Covid-19 triggered significant service delivery change in a specialist multi-disciplinary child and adolescent mental health service (CAMHS) team. The majority of assessment and intervention work moved to an online audio and web conferencing platform. A shared decision-making approach was developed to support service user understanding of online appointments and to giving informed consent, in line with the i-THRIVE Framework for system change (Wolpert et al., 2019). Three Guides were developed and distributed ahead of online appointments: written, easy-read and video.Findings:Data collected within a Quality Improvement (QI) framework indicated that the Guides supported practitioners to prepare service users, as well as themselves, for digital working. The Guides supported service access, collaborative decision-making and increased CYP autonomy. Their introduction also led to conversations about equity and cultural responsiveness, as well as serving as a model for the development of aids to support shared decision-making for autism diagnostic assessments.Limitations:This paper outlines the first phase of the QI project with a small participant sample and requires further engagement with service users to review the use of Guides and shared decision-making decision aids.Conclusions:Digital approaches present new possibilities and are rapidly changing service delivery across CAMHS. The importance of involving service users in shared decision-making when developing digital practices must be held in mind as part of this change process.
What are the experiences and practices of educational psychologists when working with and supporting autistic, gender-diverse children and young people?
Authors: Allen-Biddell Dean , Bond Caroline 
Published: January 2023

AimsResearch into the nature of educational psychologist (EP) practice when supporting autistic, gender-diverse children and young people (CYP) is within its infancy. This study explores the experiences and practices of five EPs with applied knowledge of work in this emerging area.MethodSemi-structured interviews were conducted and a reflexive thematic analysis carried out to develop themes.FindingsFindings highlight distinct areas of practice and challenges faced by participants. In particular, this study highlights the uncertainty and complexity of work in this area with a specific focus upon the intersectionality of autism and gender diversity. The nature of direct work with CYP and support for inclusive schooling practices are also explored alongside current gaps in educational psychology practice in this area.LimitationsGiven the aim of this study to provide an exploratory entry point into the practices of EPs working with this population of young people, the researchers did not aim for representativeness. Therefore, subjective participant experiences cannot be assumed to reflect those of all EPs with applied knowledge in this area.ConclusionsImplications for research and practice are discussed including the development of resources and guidance within educational psychology services to support practitioners in their work in this area. A discussion of the need for EPs to utilise their knowledge of intersectionality when working with the uncertainty of dual identity casework is provided alongside reflections about the nature of EP work in supporting schools to further develop their inclusive practices.

Super-vision, extra-vision or blind faith? A grounded theory study of the efficacy of coaching supervision
Authors: Passmore Jonathan , McGoldrick Susan 
Published: January 2023

Objectives:Coaching supervision has become the dominant model of reflective practice in the UK. This study sought to explore coach and supervisor perceptions of supervision, and critically observe supervision practice.Design:The study utilised an observational design and semi-structured interviews.Methods:The study involved an observation of a coaching session, which was filmed, followed by interviews with the participants. This data was transcribed. In the second part of the study a series of semi-structured interviews were undertaken with coaches and supervisors. The data was transcribed and analysed using Grounded Theory methodology until saturation was achieved. The transcribed data was combined in the development of a theoretical framework for coaching supervision.Results:The study outlines a number of perceived benefits of the coaching supervision process. These outcomes include: raised awareness, coaching confidence, perseverance, sense of belonging, increased professionalism and the development of an ‘internal supervisor’. The research also highlighted the need for a greater understanding of what coaching supervision involves for coaches.Conclusions:The paper questions the dominant mindset that supervision is the only intervention for reflective practice and argues for multiple models of continuous professional development, alongside calling for further research to identify the benefits from alternative model of CPD within coaching.
Using signature strengths in pursuit of goals: Effects on goal progress, need satisfaction, and well-being, and implications for coaching psychologists
Authors: Linley P. Alex , Nielsen Karina M. , Wood Alex M. , Gillett Raphael , Biswas-Diener Robert 
Published: January 2023

Objective:In recent years there has been a growing interest in research related to the use of strengths. Although results from past research have consistently suggested that the use of strengths is associated with higher performance and greater well-being there is, as yet, no clear theory describing how using strengths might contribute to greater well-being or goal progress. The objective of the current research was to test a model of how strengths use may support performance and well-being through an extension of the self-concordance model of healthy goal attainment.Design:We test a repeated measures cross-sectional model in which using signature strengths is associated with goal progress, which is in turn associated with the fulfilment of psychological needs, and in turn well-being.Method:Participants were 240 college students who completed measures of psychological strengths, need satisfaction, well-being, goal progress and goal attainment at three time points over a three-month period.Results:Our results demonstrate that strengths use is associated with better goal progress, which is in turn associated with psychological need fulfilment and enhanced well-being.Conclusions:Strengths use provides a key support in the attainment of goals, and leads to greater need satisfaction and well-being, providing an extension of the self-concordance model of healthy goal attainment. Implications for practice and future research are discussed.
