Summary
In Episode 347 of the Counselling Tutor Podcast, your hosts Rory Lees-Oakes and Ken Kelly take us through this week's three topics:
- Firstly, in 'Ethical, Sustainable Practice', we explore why autism-informed therapy matters and how inclusivity, legal responsibilities, and lived experience come together to strengthen practice.
- Then in 'Practice Matters', Rory speaks with Aisha Gordon-Hiles about financial resilience for counsellors. They look at the importance of sustainable fees, ethical pricing, and developing a healthy money mindset to support private practice.
- And finally in 'Student Services', Rory and Ken reflect on why counselling trainees often doubt themselves – and how reframing these doubts can support deeper learning and professional growth.
