The ACR Journal

Volume 18, Issue 2 - 2025

This round of the Journal drew an incredible number of submissions showcasing specialised research from across the counselling and mental health professions. We're proud to present an edition complete with insights from trauma-informed study of the fawn response, cultural reflections on time and anxiety, to the use of Interactive Drawing Therapy in pediatric counselling. Each of the 10 papers offers new and engaging perspectives on our changing world, and the best way to support clients and practitioners, and improve counselling practices in a multitude of ways.
