GPs were among those to receive awards in the New Year Honours lists, which also saw doctors that led the UK's response to the pandemic and COVID-19 vaccine rollout recognised.
For many people, counselling can offer an effective, low cost form of treatment that can help address pain and distress before these become acute.
It also prevents the medicalisation of emotional distress, a key consideration in a post-conflict society with record rates of prescribing for antidepressants, PPR has said.
Sara Boyce, mental health campaign organiser at PPR, said: We know that this pandemic is having a big effect on our mental health and will continue to do so for some considerable time. GPs will have a key role in connecting people to the support they need, so it s vital that they are properly equipped to do this. Counselling is one effective treatment but at this present time accessing counselling through your GP practice is a postcode lottery. In some areas every GP practice offers this service but in others, less than half of GP practices can offer it. This cannot be fair or right.
