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 in with me as always is Ken.

How are you today, Ken?

Exceptionally well, I'm so glad to be here. We are at episode 190. Oh, there's so many episodes,

190. I can't believe we've been doing this so long, Rory. Of the counselling tutor podcast,

And then we end with practice matters. And in practice matters, we're going to be taking a peek into practice.

This is where we take a practitioner, have a look at

what they do in their practice. They share that with us. And Rory is going to be speaking to

or psychotherapists in the United States of America and the United Kingdom. So that's our episode 190 for you, starting off with that student check-in.
