Personal Therapy

CounsellingWorx recognises that students undertaking a professional counselling qualification may need to complete 30 hours of personal therapy. Having gone through counselling training ourselves, each of our professionals have personal experience of how difficult and challenging a qualification can be and how personal counselling can impact you as a trainee counsellor. We are able to offer person-centred therapists, who are registered members of the BACP organisation to help support you as you reflect on your own processes and explore anything that may emerge during your training.

Supervision

CounsellingWorx understand that students undertaking a counselling qualification need to complete a practical placement, which requires supervision. CounsellingWorx therapists undertake regular supervision themselves and understand the importance of finding the right supervisor. Our supervisors are all BACP members, professionally trained to offer different supervision models, and will work with you during your first session to identify the model that will enable you to gain the most from your supervision, whilst also providing a safe space for reflective and professional development.
