Counselling Students

Bring yourself – let’s work together! I’m a professional accredited, straight-talking, no-fluff Counsellor. It’s a massive undertaking to train as a Counsellor, that’s why I offer a discount where a block of sessions are booked, I don’t expect you to book these immediately – have one session, see if you like working with me first! I am based in Shropshire and Worcestershire, UK and offer easy access working nationwide with student-clients face to face where possible and online via Zoom or Skype.

Studying counselling brings self-awareness and can be a life-changing time for many people. Students describe it as both a ‘revelation’ and a ‘rollercoaster’. Having a qualified counsellor by your side whilst you go through the learning process is often a requirement of training and can be a huge support – sometimes this is the first time a student-counsellor has experienced counselling, for most students it’s important for them to know how it feels to be the client.

During this process I am happy to provide a letter to your college to confirm the number of sessions you have attended, the content of our sessions is confidential and will not be discussed with your college.

If you would like to see me for counselling, you may book an appointment by emailing, calling or texting me directly 07724 157617

Mentoring

A different type of support for those who are studying counselling. Yes I do offer counselling for counselling students and you must enlist a supervisor. This is neither counselling nor supervision – this is mentoring support. As someone who knows how flippin’ hard it is to study counselling, I understand the processes, I have an idea of the demands that are made on counselling students, the changes you may be going through and can have your back whilst it’s all whirling around.

What’s it for? It may be that it’s all good but you have questions about how to prioritise your work, set up your counselling practice, how to transition from student to working counsellor, how to network, how to get your marketing started. I’ve done this and can offer insight and support – yep your experience won’t be exactly the same as mine, however I can be your sounding board. I can’t promise you magical unicorns but I can say I’ll be by your side.

A glimpse of the magic

I’m so loaded up with work anyway will there be more? It’s up to you. Unlike my counselling sessions where there is no homework, if you feel it would help, I can offer between session tasks – you will definitely take away some points to reflect upon and some goals. I encourage you to bring your questions and let’s get started.

How much does it cost? Mentoring sessions cost the same as counselling sessions. I encourage new starters to book in for one first session and see how it feels to work with me. If you want to continue we can book in on an adhoc basis or if you pre-book, I offer six once a fortnight sessions for the cost of five.

What next? Let’s book an appointment to chat, I offer a free 15-minute conversation to see if you would like to work with me, you can do this by emailing, calling or texting me directly 07724 157617
