Abstract
We live in interesting times whereby a decade or two ago, psychological therapy services were a Cinderella service, playing second fiddle to psychiatric care and medication. Today and hopefully well into the future, there has been an unprecedented recognition of the unmet need experienced by many people attending their GPs who are either in emotional distress and/or with mental health difficulties, and a consequent major investment in the provision of psychological therapy services. Within this paper, I aim to account for the reasons why this change has come about and also to discuss the far-reaching implications for counselling and clinical psychology as professional groups located within the NHS.
