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.

Hi, I'm Rory and with me as always is Ken.

How are you doing, Ken?

I'm well, I'm grateful to be here. Rory and I are

grateful that you have joined us here today for 180. That's the episode number of the counseling

tutor podcast. We have three sections we're going to be delving into today, starting off with

our student check-in, where we look at something that a student might come across within their training, and we're going to be speaking about something that I think's got

broad appeal here for our qualified friends as well, and that is idiosyncratic empathy.

It can be a tricky one.

I'm looking forward to chatting about that.

We then go into our digital counselling revolution, where we recognise the technology forms part of how therapy is delivered, how therapy is now consumed by our clients.

And today we have a very special interview where we speak with the ACTO chairperson, Mr. Adrian Rhodes.

So something to look forward to there. And then we go into

practice matters with Karen Griffith, who is going to be speaking about the teenage brain. And I have

a teenage daughter myself. So that's something I'm really looking forward to hearing about so

that I can try and understand. So starting us off at that student check in

idiosyncratic empathy, even the word Rory, send shivers down my spine when I was a student.

I know. It's a bit of a mouthful. And for those of you, students who are maybe doing your

skills tapes, you could be, you could be doing

a certificate or a diploma, maybe doing your advanced level skills at university.
