In our recent blog post, we shared how Grid Society is becoming a trusted resource for therapists and counselling professionals. We explored how our CPD-endorsed training and collaborative work with organisations like Counselling First has opened up a new flow, one where trained professionals are now referring their clients to our public workshops.

These referrals are not random; they are intentional. Therapists are turning to Grid Society because our online workshops act as mental health tools structured, accessible, and easy for clients to carry back into the therapy room.

6 reasons why

Counsellors

are referring

clients

What the counsellors say

“It gives a shared emotional language that helps the client work go deeper.”

Clients say, “I was at the beginning of the Green Grid again this week.” As their counsellor, I can ask, “What’s your Grey Voice saying today?”

That shared vocabulary strengthens the emotional work and helps build deeper trust.

What the counsellors say

“The workshop sets the tone and gives us a structure we can build on.”

As a therapist, I can then use those same tools in session to continue the work, because we’ve both had the same experience. That shared foundation makes the therapeutic process more structured, cohesive, and effective.

Grid Society sets the emotional stage. It introduces key concepts such as the Grey Voice, emotional mapping, and mindset defence tools that clients can immediately understand.

What the counsellors say

“It elevates my practice and shows my clients I am resourced.”

My practice is building a reputation as a space that not only listens but also equips clients with trusted external resources that aid their healing process. It shows clients that I am proactive, informed, and committed to supporting their growth.

Clients notice when their counsellor connects them to solutions that work. The Grid Society workshop becomes part of that wider support system, a tool that complements the work already happening in therapy.

What the counsellors say

“It expands my toolkit in a meaningful way.”

This is not just more theory; it is a system clients can actually use. I can build entire session plans around these elements, or use them to enhance my existing approach. It strengthens the work I already do and gives clients something they can carry with them.

From creating Voice Templates to emotional journaling and tracking their location on the Grid, the tools give structure to what clients are feeling. The Grid adds a framework without restricting depth. It blends easily with any existing practice or modality.

What the counsellors say

“My clients come back lighter and more ready to work.”

They return with more self-awareness, more grounded energy, and often more clarity. That emotional readiness allows us to begin the next phase of the work with greater depth and insight. It helps clients arrive more prepared and opens the door to deeper, more focused work.

You, as the counsellor, are able to continue the work with a client who is more emotionally engaged, reflective, and open to exploring the deeper layers of the process.

What the counsellors say

“It strengthens the bond between my client and me.”

When a client returns from a Grid Society workshop saying, “That really made me think, it was so empowering and so helpful,” it opens a new lane in our relationship. It adds a new layer of trust and strengthens the relationship we’re building in therapy.

They begin to see you not just as the listener, but as someone who provides tools that truly support their growth. This naturally deepens the bond and allows us to continue the core work together.
