From our experience as therapists and though conversations with stakeholders (placement providers, retired lecturers, and senior therapists) we have set personal therapy hours at sixty over the two years of our counselling diploma course. This structure offers steady personal support, a continual opportunity to enhance self-awareness, and a direct experience of what it feels like to be a client.
Beyond personal therapy, we also bring in a process group facilitator on a regular basis. The process group is a confidential space where you can share, challenge, support, and work through the shared experiences of counsellor training. Confidentiality in this group is essential, and our facilitator, a qualified group therapist, does not relay any discussions back to the teaching team.
