Review :
"This book is a must-read for anyone considering or currently in counselling training. Comprehensive and accessible, it offers a clear guide to selecting the right course, navigating the application process, and understanding key aspects of training such as supervision, personal therapy, and experiential groups. The book offers valuable insights into the benefits and challenges of self-awareness, the role of personal reflection, and the unconscious motivations for pursuing therapy. It thoughtfully addresses important topics such as diversity and the challenges of working in a rapidly changing global environment. This is an indispensable resource for aspiring therapists." -Clare Camm, Senior Lecturer in Integrative Psychotherapy, Metanoia Institute, BACP Accredited Counsellor & Psychotherapist, UK "This is a must have book for potential counselling course trainees. Jayne and Tara have put together an excellent book exploring the personal impact and professional learning on counselling training courses. They have generously shared some of their own personal stories and new professional struggles when they completed counselling training. I highly recommend this book and I wish that I had a copy of it at the beginning of my training." -John Bradley, Counsellor, Supervisor and Trainer in Private Practice (Hull and York) Former trainer at the Ellesmere Centre in Hull. BACP Senior Accredited Counsellor and Supervisor, UK "This book provides a comprehensive and yet highly accessible companion to those considering therapeutic training. This book captures the challenges and learning curves on the personal and professional journey undertaken by trainees from consideration of the range of different therapeutic approaches and selection of a programme of study to securing a practice placement. This book examines and highlights the developmental stages experienced by the trainee therapist and covers the wide range of questions and answers that any would-be therapist might need to consider before embarking on a programme of study. In conclusion, this book is an invaluable resource for anyone considering therapy training." -Bo Bloomfield, relational therapist and EMDR practitioner working in schools, colleges and university as well as in private practice, College Counselling Placement Manager, MBACP (Senior Accredited) Counsellor and Clinical Supervisor, Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP-I and CCTPII), UK
