Counselling & Mentoring Students
Straight-Talking Support for Counselling Students
Training to be a counsellor is a huge undertaking – challenging, rewarding, and often life-changing. I’m a professional, accredited counsellor and supervisor, offering no-fluff, supportive sessions for student counsellors. Whether you’re just starting your training or nearing qualification, I’m here to help you feel grounded, supported, and confident.
Counselling for Student Counsellors
Studying counselling is often described as both a ‘revelation’ and a ‘rollercoaster.’ It brings self-awareness, growth, and sometimes uncomfortable challenges. Having a qualified counsellor by your side is not only a requirement of many courses but also an invaluable support.
Experience what it’s like to be the client
Develop greater self-awareness
Gain support throughout your training process
I provide sessions face-to-face in Shrewsbury, Shropshire, and online via Zoom or WhatsApp video for student-clients nationwide. When needed, I can provide a letter to confirm your attendance for your training institution - the content of our sessions always remains confidential.
To book your first session, call, text, or WhatsApp me directly on 07724 157617.
Mentoring for Counselling Students
Alongside counselling, I also offer mentoring support – designed specifically for student counsellors who want extra guidance outside of therapy and supervision. This is about helping you navigate the practical side of your training and future career.
You might want help with:
Prioritising coursework and study demands
Setting up your future counselling practice
Making the transition from student to professional counsellor
Building your professional network and marketing yourself
Think of mentoring as having someone who understands the process and has your back while you balance study, practice, and life.
A Glimpse of the Magic
Studying counselling can feel overwhelming - and mentoring is here to make things lighter, not heavier. Unlike counselling sessions (where there’s no homework), mentoring may include optional between-session tasks and reflection points if that’s what you’d find helpful.
You’ll always take away something - whether that’s clarity, goals, or new ideas. Bring your questions, your challenges, and your hopes for the future, and we’ll work through them together. I can’t promise you magical unicorns - but I can promise to be by your side while you navigate it all.
What to Expect from Mentoring Sessions
Each mentoring session is tailored to your needs – whether that’s exploring next steps, reflecting on challenges, or building your confidence for the future.
💡 Mentoring sessions are charged at the same rate as counselling. I recommend booking one initial session to see how it feels to work together before committing to a series.
