Personal Therapy

For professional and trainee counsellors 

As a counsellor, I can provide personal therapy to other counsellors (discounted rate for trainee counsellors – see terms and conditions). It is a form of self-care and professional development that helps counsellors manage their personal and professional challenges, enhance their emotional well-being, and improve their clinical skills.

Personal therapy is not only beneficial to the counsellor’s well-being but also enhances their ability to provide quality care to their clients. It can help counsellors gain self-awareness, understand their biases and values, and identify areas for personal and professional growth.

Personal therapy can take different forms, such as cognitive-behavioural therapy, psychodynamic therapy, or person-centred therapy. The choice of therapy depends on the counsellor’s preferences and needs.

Personal therapy is confidential and can be a safe space for the counsellor to address their mental health concerns, explore their emotions, and seek support for their challenges. It can also help them learn coping strategies and develop resilience to deal with the stressors of their profession.

Personal therapy can be a long-term commitment or a short-term intervention, depending on the counsellor’s goals and needs. It is an ongoing process of self-discovery and growth that can benefit the counsellor’s personal and professional life.

In conclusion, personal therapy is an essential aspect of a counsellor’s professional development and self-care. It can enhance their emotional well-being, improve their clinical skills, and enable them to provide quality care to their clients. Personal therapy is a confidential service that I offer for counsellors to address their mental health concerns, explore their emotions, and seek support for their challenges.
