Feedback and duty of care:
Where an application is unsuccessful, we regret that we do not give feedback. Sometimes applicants are asked to undergo personal therapy and reapply. As part of our duty of care, there are also occasions where we reserve the right to gain from applicants and students a medical and/or psychiatric report prior to attending the taster day or on the training itself, before continuing on the training, This is due to the nature of therapy training programmes and interviews which can be emotionally challenging for some people.
Second interviews may be organised for one or more of the following reasons:
- to ensure that the training is not going to be too stressful for an applicant
- to ensure the training does not trigger a harmful reaction to an existing or past condition
- as a further opportunity to extend the application process when it is felt that we need to get a better sense of the applicant
- to ensure that the training is going to meet the applicant’s professional needs.
Applicants should not be alarmed if they are asked to attend to a second interview as this is standard practice within our organisation.
Personal therapy
All of our counselling and psychotherapy training programmes require students to attend weekly therapy from the beginning of their chosen training. This is standard practice in the profession.
