For Trainee Therapists
Support for those becoming therapists
Training to become a therapist is one of the most quietly demanding journeys a person can undertake — and yet it is rarely spoken about with the care it deserves.
Alongside the academic rigour, the clinical placements, and the accumulating hours — there is a deeply personal process taking shape. You are not just learning a profession. You are developing an identity, sitting with other people's pain, and often quietly wrestling with your own. The emotional weight of training is real, and it matters.
Whether you are a Psychological Wellbeing Practitioner in training, a counselling psychology student, or a CBT trainee navigating your first placements — the experience can surface unexpected things. Imposter syndrome that whispers you are not enough. A creeping anxiety about competence that no amount of reading seems to quiet. The particular exhaustion of learning to hold space for others while your own emotional world demands attention. The delicate act of balancing study, placement demands, personal relationships, and your own wellbeing — often without a language for how hard that truly is.
I offer reflective and developmental support that is distinct from formal clinical processes. This is a calm, confidential space designed for your growth — a place to process what you are encountering, to reconnect with why you chose this path, and to strengthen the self-awareness that will quietly underpin all of your future clinical work. I draw on coaching-informed frameworks, psychological principles, and genuine understanding of the trainee experience. For CBT trainees specifically, I am also able to offer CTSR marking support — reviewing session recordings or excerpts, working through the competency domains with you, and helping you develop a clearer sense of what assessors are looking for and how to evidence your practice with confidence. Whether you are seeking one-to-one sessions, CTSR preparation, or are interested in future group workshops for trainees, I invite you to explore what this kind of support might look like for you.
