Welcome to the Counseling Tutor Podcast. The must listen to podcast for students of counseling and

psychotherapy. Here are your hosts, Rory Lee's Oaks and Ken Kelly. Hello and welcome to episode

27 of the counseling tutor podcast with me, Rory Lee's Oaks.

And on a very wet day in the northwest of England, I have my co-pilot in all things therapeutic, Mr. Ken Kelly.

And you're going to be glad you did listen to today's podcast because it is a cracker, as we say here in the UK, a cracker, Rory.
