Private counselling tuition
Supporting counselling students
I offer private tuition for counselling students and trainee therapists who would like additional support alongside their training.
Students most commonly seek tuition when they are struggling with assignments, preparing for assessments, integrating theory, applying theory to practice, or recovering confidence following an unsuccessful submission. Others simply want additional support to deepen their understanding and make sense of feedback or concepts that may feel confusing or overwhelming.
Experience in teaching and training
I have over 20 years of clinical experience and over 10 years' experience teaching and tutoring on BACP and CPCAB accredited courses. I have supported students at a range of levels (L4, L5, BA, BSc, MA and MSc) throughout their training.
One of the things I enjoy most about teaching is helping people understand complex ideas in ways that feel accessible, practical and relevant. Many students are capable of understanding the material but struggle to connect theory, practice and personal understanding in a way that feels coherent. My aim is to help bridge that gap.
How I can support you
Tuition can include support with theoretical understanding, assignments, case studies, counselling skills, integrating different therapeutic approaches, and applying theory to client work. For students preparing case studies or clinical assessments, sessions may sometimes resemble supervision, providing a space to think more deeply about client work while maintaining appropriate ethical and professional boundaries.
Alongside academic understanding, I recognise that confidence can also play an important role in learning. Many students worry that they should know more than they do, compare themselves unfavourably to their peers, or lose confidence after receiving challenging feedback. I aim to offer a thoughtful, encouraging and collaborative learning environment where mistakes and questions are welcomed, and curiosity is encouraged. My hope is that students leave feeling clearer in their understanding, more confident in their thinking, and better able to apply their knowledge in practice.
