    What To Do If You Realise You Can't Work With Your Client.

    What To Do If You Realise You Can't Work With Your Client.

    There are times in all of our counselling careers, whether it is during training or later that we come across situations that mean we can't work with a client anymore. Here in this reassuring chat we look at scenarios and how to handle different situations, including keeping your client safe and kindness for yourself. Please take any dilemmas like these to your own full qualified supervisor.

    Feeling Nervous about Counselling Training? This is for you...

    I am back today with an episode where I explore why counselling training is so nerve wracking. Whether you are nervous about returning to your course or nervous to make a start, this is for you.

    If you are interested in starting some training and are based in Devon you might like to take a look at the college that I run with my business partner Simon.
