Have listened to all episodes

I have listened to all the episodes and find Rory and Ken so wonderful to hear from and the content is so useful for those in or interested in the counselling industry. I am based in Australia and apart from a few UK/EU specific content, the content is still relevant. Thank you Counselling Tutor team
