I'm Ken Kelly and I've got a real burning passion for counselling skills.

I've built training that takes the doubt out of using counselling skills.

You get to see the counselling skills used in real live sessions by a qualified therapist.

Full sessions, real material, real counselling skills.

of counselling and psychotherapy. Here are your hosts, Rory Lise Oakes and Ken Kelly.

Hi, I'm Rory. I'm with me, as always, is Ken across the studio screen. How you doing, Ken?

I'm exceptionally well, Rory. I'm delighted to be here. And both Rory and myself are delighted that you have joined us.

This is the Counselling Tutsa podcast, and you have joined us. This is the counselling tutor podcast,

and you've joined us at episode 223. We have three topics that we're going to be discussing today,

starting off with our counselling foundations, those important foundations that underpin what we do as

counsellors and psychotherapists. Today we're going to be going back to the ego

states of transactional analysis. It's an interesting topic, even if you're not a TA practitioner.

So I'm looking forward to that one. Then we go into focus on self where we recognize you,

you're the beating heart of your practice. We need to look to ourself and be okay within ourselves

And today we're going to be looking at self-regulation within our sessions.

And then we're going to practice matters where we dip our toe into that we may come across in the day-to-day running of a practice

And today, Rory, you met up with Dell Beach Campbell to speak about male survivors of sexual

abuse. So we're going to hear all about that. But we're starting off with those foundations.
