MENTORING

For the many students of counselling often making great leaps in their education, extra learning support can mean the difference between enjoying and completing their training or dropping out. My deep understanding of psychology and the theoretical underpinnings of all kinds of psychotherapy, as well as extensive experience of organising essays (I have a teaching certificate and MSc. in Counselling and Methodology), qualifies me to support work in progress through explanation, constructive criticism and some modelling of the therapeutic process. I charge thirty pounds per hour for consultations of this kind and they are usually arranged, one at a time, with the student.
