The Duke of Cambridge has been secretly counselling people contacting a crisis helpline for mental health support, he has revealed.
Great I hope he has done all the required training
For all the celebrities attaching themselves to mental health issues, Council and NHS mental health services are still massively underfunding and get a fraction of the resources they received in the 00s.
He’s not a counsellor , that takes training ! Please please ...do not devalue counsellors , therpist and psychotherapist ...
Do people really care that much about what he does or not. If the action was truly humanitarian, why publicise it.
This shows how far we have to go to get counselling properly recognised in the UK BACP. If don’t know the difference between counsellor & briefly trained helpline volunteer how can we ever expect to be paid properly for the deep work we do? mentalhealth
He has been trained in active listening, he's not a counsellor and hasn't been 'counselling' anyone. There are strict ethical standards as well as years of training involved which all reputable counsellors and counselling organisations must adhere to. BACP FakeNews
Totally centreing. I wouldn't want to end up speaking to someone with no clue of my struggles given the privilege of his birthright. 'lucky you sad person, you get to speak to me! Surprise!'
No he isn't. He volunteered like he should 💖💖
No, he is not. He is a volunteer with 25 hours training.
We’re so lucky, he’s so much better than us yet still willing to sacrifice 3 hours of his week to help - we are TrueType blessed, God Save the Queen, wave your paper Union Jack flag from the newsagents....
I missed the article about ‘Sarah Smith’ from Doncaster being a counsellor-William must be more important than her
Why broadcast it? He's pathetic.
Please correct this. HRH is not a counsellor but a trained MH Practitioner.
Sadly counsellors are deemed and seen not for years of their training. I have no problem with Prince William but he is not a qualified counsellor. Please do not add to the level of undermining of all qualified counsellors. Please research 450 hours study, a placement, ins etc.
thelittleleftie Good for him. What about all the other peopke who do it without any recognition?
Hahaha😂😀
Did you know england in history was colonialist ruler of other lands so imagine coloni of people with mental health problems and prince wiliam as adviser
There is a big difference between counselling and crisis volunteer work providing a listening service. You need years of accredited training with an organisation such as ncs_media and BACP to be a qualified counsellor plus registered under the prof_standards
And he and his wife bullied his own brother and his wife out of the country. Why doesn't he just keep a low profile?
Not a counsellor. Using helping skills.
He is on a text service which will have preset messages - he is not a counsellor. please don’t insult counsellors like myself who spent three years training intensively and hundreds of hours of volunteering to get a diploma.
William is soo boring!
How is that possible
Why does this not please
Ì think the point here has been missed. He may be a volunteer rather than an actual counsellor but I think his actions and words are excellent. As someone who is not a massive royalist I believe he will be a fantastic King. PrinceWilliam
Great that Prince William KensingtonRoyal is doing this, but using the term counsellor is misleading. Counsellors are highly trained professionals, he is a listener or a helper, but not a counsellor. Please research and provide correct information when reporting.
'Willy, mummy won't let me take the private jet to Barbados & she's forbidden me access to her tiara, I want to slaughter her corgis, skin them alive & feed them to her.' 'Daddy you have to stop calling me when I'm volunteering'.
Wonder what words of advice he'd have for a racism victim at St Andrews.
His first client? His pedophile family member lol
KaylaAdams___ Love them
These pair of chancers need to realise that only I Princess Megan can fix this country I do verily declare
Cause he knows so much about real life - hilarious. 🤣😅🤣😅
Amazing! I did not know he was a psychologist or psychiatrist.
He is not a counsellor. Extremely misleading & dangerous. BBC changed their headline after this was pointed out. At least have the decency to do likewise.
Please view this it’s more details on my Instagram or u can text me if u have any questions. This video is my mom explainin how her mental breakdown ended up makin us homeless and etc(we are still homeless currently). really askin for social media to spread this message fa help.
Is he qualified?
Is Prince Andrew helping too? He's cool under pressure. No sweat.
Very misleading headline , registered counsellors undertake many years of training.
This is very misleading. Registered counsellors have years of training. Prince William works on a first response crisis line.
My mental health struggles have often been related to poverty wages in a saturated job market, an extortionate cost of living, a lack of convenient/affordable medical & dental care, and guilt of knowing that I’m still one of the lucky ones. I don’t wanna chat to a Prince about it
Sure Jan
Incredible 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
And an egg
He needs to work on his brother and wife, aka the plastic royals 😹🤣😂
Where are his credentials?
'Have you considered joining my daddy's land army and picking turnips for Britain?'
The people who need it most will never call.... It's about time to call the LIBERALS.
So secret that he has nblabbed to the whole world! Why would he do that unless to virtue signal?!
They’re turning out to be the gold standard as royal couples go.
Right. I just write this sentencw. I am a journalist now right, Guardian?
Great. A Future King leading by example. Not like that Trump bastard
No, he isn't. He's a volunteer unless he secretly had years of training? BACP
bullshit
