| Comment | Not sure if it's running at the moment over Zoom, but Strathclyde Uni used to have a scheme where students on their counselling course would give you the supervised counselling sessions they needed before they could pass their course, and it would be free in exchange for filling out questionnaires plus a couple of sessions where a researcher interviewed you about changes they had noticed. Presumably this year's intake of students are not going to be let loose to graduate and practice without having some supervised hours too so maybe this will happen in a modified way.
Alternatively I would recommend looking at the Psychology Today site to see if any local profiles are of interest. Some will say they are discounting at this time to help people affected by Covid or some will use the term "sliding scale" to indicate they adjust their fee for low waged/unwaged. For example someone charging £40 an hour might have a concession rate of £25 an hour. Given this has been a hellish year due to Covid you might think this is worth it to bypass NHS queues if there are other parts of life you can economise on.
Good luck! Counselling can be very rewarding. |
