Counselling in Action

Hello, welcome to the student counselling listening skills training page. I'm passionate about helping others navigate life's challenges through compassionate and insightful counselling. My journey into the world of counselling began with a profound interest in understanding human behaviour and a deep desire to make a positive impact.

I offer specialized one to one counselling practise sessions for students. As a trainee, I vividly remember the challenges of practising counselling skills in a triad during training. Whilst feedback from my peers who were training at the same level as I provide valuable insight, I often felt it was not enough to truly help me improve. This struggle inspired me to create a more supportive and effective learning environment for future counsellors.

My first client experience was a revelation. I recall telling my supervisor, "They did not teach us this in class!" Transitioning from the classroom to the therapy room can be daunting. That's why I am dedicated to helping students prepare for their first client interactions. In my practise sessions, I address real-world scenarios that you won't find in textbooks, such as handling rude clients, dealing with client’s dissociation, when a client attends under the influence of alcohol or drugs, when to safeguard, how to deal with a client who hear voices and many more case scenarios.

What I offer:

We can either work face to face or online.

One-to-One Practise Sessions:

• Session Length: Each session last 90 minutes.
• 50 Minutes Practise Session: You play the role of the therapist, and I act as the client
• 10 Minutes: Session Note and Reflection.
• 30 Minutes Feedback Session: Receive personalized feedback and a detailed review of your performance.

Block Sessions: For those who want a more comprehensive experience, the block sessions offer a complete training package:

• Total 6 Sessions (£50.00 per session, minimum of 3 sessions).

The block sessions are most suited for those who wish to cover all aspects of the therapeutic process, including what to expect in and from supervision, guidelines on how to write session notes, and explore different case scenarios. The block session will give you the opportunity to experience working with a client from assessment to ending.
