Personal therapy is an important part of training to become a counsellor and/or psychotherapist. As well as being a requirement of your professional training course, it provides an opportunity to develop greater self-awareness, explore personal experiences and gain a deeper understanding of the therapeutic process.
At The Awareness Centre, we recognise the importance of making personal therapy more accessible to those training in the profession. We offer trainee counsellors and/or psychotherapists from all training institutions the opportunity to work with one of our experienced private therapists at a reduced fee of £55 per session. Book an appointment online or get in touch with our team to find the right counsellor for you.
Our qualified private Counsellors, Psychotherapists and Psychosexual & Relationship therapists are all either registered or accredited with one or more of the following professional bodies.
Why Is Personal Therapy Important During Training?
At TAC, we strive to provide expert counselling services to anyone who needs them. Our flexible schedules and variety of counsellors allow us to offer appointment times from Monday to Saturday, and some of our specialists can also offer online counselling and telephone appointments.
Training to become a counsellor and/or psychotherapist involves more than developing theoretical knowledge and practical skills. Understanding yourself, your emotional responses and how your personal experiences may influence your work with clients is an equally important part of becoming an effective practitioner.
Personal therapy offers an opportunity to reflect on your experiences, explore patterns of thinking and behaviour, and develop a greater understanding of how you relate to yourself and others.
For trainee therapists, personal therapy can help to:
- Develop self-awareness: Gain a deeper understanding of your emotions, behaviours and personal experiences.
- Explore personal challenges: Work through issues that may arise during your training or in your personal life.
- Understand the therapeutic relationship: Experience therapy from the client’s perspective and develop insight into the therapeutic process.
- Recognise personal triggers: Become more aware of emotional responses that could influence your work with clients.
- Support personal and professional development: Build the self-reflection and emotional awareness needed to work effectively as a therapist.
