Student Counsellor Support
I love supporting student counsellors who are working their way towards becoming a qualified counsellor, if this is you and you would like to receive support in your studies, then let’s have a conversation.
My experiences of training & studying the approaches of ‘Psychodynamic’ & ‘Person Centred’ counselling began in 2007, it took me discipline and dedication to attain the relevant qualifications I required to work in this amazing profession. As you get deeper into the training, your own therapeutic counselling is required and mandatory.
I offer discounted rates for student counsellors at, with the option of counselling session at my private therapy room in Colchester, Essex plus where permitted via video calls.
See my ‘Services’ section for price options for student counselling.
