Supporting student counsellors

Training to become a counsellor can be exciting, challenging and deeply personal.

​

As you learn about theories, skills and ways of working with clients, you may also find yourself discovering new things about yourself.

​

Student counselling offers a space where you don't have to be the counsellor.

​

You don't have to analyse yourself.

​

You don't have to have the right words.

​

You can simply be you.

"Lauren’s gentle humour helped turn ‘ I’m getting it wrong’  into ‘it’s ok to take risks and make mistakes’ I’m more able to slow down and support myself as I try new things"  Peter

Supporting your journey as a student counsellor

​

You might want support with confidence, self-doubt, relationships, boundaries or family patterns.

​

You may find that something from your own life is being stirred by your training or by your work with clients.

​

Perhaps you are questioning what kind of therapist you want to become, or finding your own voice within a particular therapeutic approach.

​

We can explore whatever feels important to you.

​

My own training is in Psychosynthesis, but I work with students from a range of counselling modalities.

​

I am interested in supporting you to develop greater self-awareness, trust your own experience and find a way of working that feels authentic to you.

​

There is no right way to become a counsellor.

​

Your therapeutic journey is your own.
