www.counseling tutor.com. Hello and welcome to the counselling tutor podcast with me,

Laurie Lee-Oaks. And with me, my follow wingman in everything therapeutic, Mr. Ken Kelly.

How are you doing, Ken?

Exceptionally well today.

Feeling good, ready for episode 95, and it's a good episode.

I think that it covers a broad spectrum in terms of it.

It doesn't matter where you are in your study journey.

Even if you're a qualified therapist, you're going to get something out of episode 95, kicking off with what level you need to reach to be able to call yourself a qualified

counsellor and start counselling. In practice matters, a really important subject, working with

clients who have a formal mental health diagnosis, Rory.

Yeah, and I'm going to be speaking in that section about seeing the person, not the label,

but more importantly, the difference between judgment and assessment.

And that's something that you may need to use if you have someone who may be becoming unwell due to the fact

they have difficulties with their mental well-being. So of the time, Rory, only just recently

in the UK at the time of recording this, the budget went out. The government put their budget

together and they've allocated a lot of money to mental health and we're going to be seeing

more and more people with a formal diagnosis appearing in our counselling room so looking forward

to practice matters today and then ending episode 95 we're going to be speaking about a topic which

I guess for some people is a difficult topic to even hear the topic, and that is working with sex offenders.

Can you work with a sex offender?

So we're going to be covering that topic at the end of today's episode.
