Personal Therapy for Student Counsellors

For many counselling and psychotherapy courses, it is a requirement for students to engage in their own personal therapy and is integral to their professional development.

As a Person-Centred Counsellor, I offer a safe, confidential space where you can freely explore your concerns without fear or judgement. My aim is to provide a comfortable environment for you to address your issues and, together, we will work through them. 

Through your personal therapy, I can help you to address your own mental health concerns, develop self-care strategies, build self-awareness by reflecting on and understanding your own biases, preconceptions and values and exploring how these impact upon your work. It's important to develop awareness of these factors and be aware of any triggers you may have which could arise from a client and understand your own emotional reactions to clients. 

How it works?

Personal therapy sessions are available on a one-to-one basis, lasting 50 minutes each. They can be scheduled weekly or less frequently as needed, on a short or long term basis. Sessions can be conducted in person or remotely, with a reduced fee rate (please contact me for more information).
