Psychotherapy and Counselling for Therapists and Trainees

As a therapist, you dedicate yourself to supporting others, offering empathy and insight through their challenges. Yet, the emotional demands of this work can be significant, and finding space for your own growth and emotional well-being can be of great importance.
 

I have extensive experience working with therapists and therapists in training, providing a space where you can explore your own emotional landscape, process the complexities of therapeutic work in relation to your own trauma, and deepen your understanding of yourself.
 

The Challenges of Being a Therapist

Therapists often face unique challenges that can impact their professional and personal lives, including:

  • Emotional and compassion fatigue – the cumulative emotional weight of holding space for others

  • Empathy fatigue – the challenge of maintaining deep empathy towards clients

  • Navigating emotional complexities – managing personal reactions and boundaries within therapeutic relationships

  • Self-exploration – understanding oneself more deeply to enhance therapeutic effectiveness

  • Work-life balance – challenges in managing irregular hours, heavy client load, client crises, and administrative tasks, feeling unable to fully "switch off" from work

  • Financial Stress (especially for those in Private Practice) – irregular income and pressure to maintain a steady client base

  • Loneliness and isolation – the confidential nature of the work may limit opportunities to openly discuss emotional complexities
     

A Space for Reflection and Growth for therapists and therapists in training

I can offer a confidential and reflective space to:

  • Reflect on your experiences in the therapy room

  • Explore personal patterns that may influence your work

  • Work through your own trauma to deepen your self-awareness and personal growth

  • Strengthen your emotional resilience

  • Gain insight into challenges that arise in your professional practice
     

Supporting Therapists in Training

For those still in training, therapy can be an invaluable part of your professional development. It provides a place to process your learning, work through personal material that may surface, and build confidence in your evolving therapeutic identity.
