350 - Starting as a Counsellor

In episode 350 of the Counselling Tutor Podcast, your hosts Rory Lees-Oakes and Ken Kelly take us through this week's three topics: Firstly in 'Ethical, Sustainable Practice', we explore what it means to be starting as a counsellor –  how to bridge the gap between qualification and confident, competent practice. Then in 'Practice Matters', Rory speaks with Mel Ciavucco, a specialist in disordered eating, body image, and weight stigma. They explore the psychological impact of weight loss drugs, how these medications may interact with disordered eating behaviours, and how counsellors can support clients ethically and without judgement. And lastly, in 'Student Services', we look at the concept of reasonable adjustments in counselling training and how learners can get the support they need.
