We offer individual counselling services to a broad range of clients, providing the opportunity for students to develop their counselling skills in a practice-based research clinic. Clients of the research clinic are offered between 4 and 20 counselling sessions without charge, in exchange for taking part in our research protocol. In certain circumstances, they may be offered the option of continuing beyond 20 sessions on a sliding fee basis.
Since its inception in 2007, the research clinic has become a highly regarded support service, being a point of referral for many external agencies. Here, we hear from some of our clients who shed some light on their experience working with the clinic.
Very professional but personable communication from A to Z, I never realised how much I was going to learn about myself and my past until it all clicked one day. Counselling helped me find valuable connections between my thoughts, my actions and my conditioning, and it asked me to reflect on my learning for the first time in years.
