Your Counselling Training Summer Survival Guide

The summer break can feel a little strange when you’re training to become a counsellor.

For months, your weeks may have been shaped by teaching, skills practice, assignments, placements, supervision and a steadily growing pile of books you genuinely intended to read.

Then suddenly, the timetable becomes quieter.

For some students, that feels like a welcome relief. For others, the loss of structure can feel unsettling. You may find yourself wondering whether you should be studying, preparing, reflecting or doing something terribly productive with your time.
