How to Succeed in Your Counselling and Psychotherapy Training is an accessible and friendly guide for new trainee counsellors and psychotherapists. It outlines the difficulties that a new trainee may encounter and provides guidance on the main aspects of the training journey, both in the classroom and in a clinical placement.
As well as excerpts from trainees who have shared their experience of the training journey this book includes guidance on:
* The full cycle of training - from choosing a training to the post qualifying year
* The key components of clinical practice - starting work in a clinical placement and how to make the most of supervision
* The essential aspects of training - from development of reflective practice to competency in assessment
* How to develop a therapeutic presence, the ability to work with a client's feelings and how to communicate and work within the therapeutic relationship
The book is structured so that readers can dip in and out of chapters depending on their current needs or interests. Additionally, there are self-reflection exercises throughout to help stimulate thinking and to prepare the reader for supervision.
