Students, as future practitioners, are expected to be mentally and emotionally fit to hep others. Due to the sensitive nature of the material that will be encountered during the course it is inevitable that your own issues will surface. These issues may be explored on the course but, as the course is not regarded as ''therapy'', students will be expected to work through these issues outside the course hours if need be.

Suitable therapists will be recommended if necessary.  If students feel they need therapy at any stage then tutors will be happy to discuss this.

Personal therapy is expected within the membership requirements of some professional bodies.
