This fourth, updated and revised edition of this bestselling classic offers essential guidance to student counsellors and psychotherapists starting out on their training. Most books about training focus on the training; this book is about you, the trainee and student, and your needs. Written by two highly experienced trainers/lecturers, Step in to Study Counselling and Psychotherapy will be your friend and guide across this new terrain. An array of voices from the world of counselling and psychotherapy training also contribute their expertise on the topics discussed. Training in counselling and psychotherapy demands much of the trainee in terms of what you give of yourself to the process, as well as the academic and practice skills required to successfully complete the course. This book will help you choose your course and where to study, fund it, manage your relationships with fellow trainees and teaching staff, prepare for and write/deliver your assignments, negotiate placements and follow your learning through into continuing professional development. It also covers clinical supervision, personal therapy, experiential learning and self-care, and - as a one-stop resource - it provides useful links to other sources of information and support.

In 2017 the global #MeToo movement burst through the conspiracy of silence around women's experience of sexual abuse and violence. Since then, other groups have found the courage to declare that they too have experienced sexual abuse and are unafraid and unashamed to let it be known. Now this ground-breaking book provides a space for counsellors and psychotherapists - more often the listeners - to tell their own stories, sometimes for the first time. Each chapter is written by a counsellor, psychotherapist or therapy client and followed up with an exploratory dialogue between writer and peer. Together the contributions form a community of #TherapistsToo voices, brought together in the hope that readers within and beyond the counselling and psychotherapy realm will feel less alone and more connected. This is a book for anyone wanting to understand the ubiquity of sexual violence and sexual abuse. It's about how to respond, support, raise awareness, campaign and be part of creating a culture that says #TimesUp!
