A year before I decided to become a counsellor I overheard the word transference being mentioned by a counsellor friend and intrigued decided to look it up and came across this podcast. I haven’t stopped listening to it since and now here I am studying counselling, in part due to this fascinating podcast. Thank you both so much .

Absolutely brilliant. Thank you so much! Wonderfully presented.

I am hooked on this podast because it is inspiring and helpful for my learning experience. It was recommended to me by a group member. I am so thankful Rory and Ken are now in my life. Cheers chaps.

Just discovered this podcast and wish I’d found it two years ago when I started my training. A warm and accessible podcast taking the listener through key concepts.

I qualified 16 yrs ago but love this as a top up and check on current issues. But most of all the combo of Rory and Ken’s voices /accents is awesome.

The best podcast I've ever heard...

these podcasts are just the perfect addition to any course or journey in counselling

they are so helpful, insightful, motivating and educational

10/10 Rory & Ken

thank you!

These podcasts are excellent. Can listen anytime/anywhere. Easy to access and follow and links seamlessly with their counsellingtutor.com website! This informative, interesting material developed by Ken and Rory demonstrates how much effort they have devoted to bringing together such a broad subject. Suitable and appropriate for all levels of learner. Especially if you are new to the subject like me. Huge thanks to all involved for developing this!

I’m coming to the end of my level 4 training and have only just discovered this podcast. I wish I had found it from the beginning! It would have been so helpful for assignments and general info. I’m finding it so useful, picking up tips and getting examples and other views. Fantastic. Thanks Rory and Ken!

I found this podcast when looking for cool things to listen to once I’d been accepted on a MSc course. Well, I’ve not even started it and already feel so calm and ready to take on the challenge of independent, child-focussed, private practice! I’m not the least bit phased knowing that this brilliant support is out there! This no-nonsense approach to the whole spectrum of counselling and psychotherapy training/working is an asset that you’d be crazy to ignore. Business skills, person skills, theory, Q&A...all backed up with masses of free notes and ‘pay for’ resources that can be cited in essays and research papers. I’m listening to them all and when I get my funding will buy the whole student package.

I’ve also learnt just enough about transference/counter transference in just the first 20 to work out why I, up to now, have been really irritated by the Manchester accent! Rory - sorry, I have grown and learnt to love your dulcet tones!! 😂

A very useful resource for learners and trainees. Full of in depth knowledge in manageable chunks. From ethnics to sills and theory, well worth a listen. Thanks to both Rory and Ken.

Really useful.

Found this podcast really useful for the assignment I am working on and intend to work my way through the rest

This podcast is fantastic. Ken and Rory have a great rapport, are easy to listen to and bring a vast experience of knowledge and skills. I like the way they simplify topics where needed for new students. This is a brilliant resource especially for those at the beginning of their journey into becoming a counsellor. Keep up this amazing work.

Thanks so much for the website and podcast. Love that it de-mystifies everything - suddenly everything seems rather less scary! Makes me realise that we non-academics can learn and be included in this amazing world of counselling. Dogs love it too because I walk them for HOURS while listening!

I was recommended the counselling tutor podcasts by my tutor and they’ve completely saved me when it comes to assignments. You're both absolute stars

An excellent resource that backs up my work with college at level 3 - I think this will help me massively improve my understanding and skills

I have just started my Level 4 and this was recommended by my tutors. I cannot believe I hadn't happened upon it before! Such a treasure trove of info and I am finding it really inspirational!

I'm an MSc Art Psychotherapy student and really need to be aware of certain aspects/ fill in some gaps for my own independent learning and these guys break it down into manageable chunks of information for me. I'm dyslexic so the podcast makes it so much easier for me to understand and learn from. Thanks so much!

I've just started my level 2 and I can feel the impending requirement for me to take on board a massive amount of information in what will feel like such a short space of time to complete the course.

I pop a podcast on in the car whenever I can and not only am I learning but I'm laughing. Ken in particular oozes a child like enthusiasm which I find infectious.

Very insightful and inspirational. I could listen to each podcast again and again and I'm sure that I will.

Omg! This is an amazing addition to the course I am studying. Easy to understand and very informative. Very glad my friend recommended this site to me.

Just starting Year 2 of my Level 4 diploma and am so grateful I found this resource early in Year 1; genuinely not sure how I would have coped without it. Rory and Ken give many tips on how to approach studying, together with ideas for assignments, further research, and a level of analysis that gives a trustworthy route into understanding very complex and difficult theories. Huge thanks to Rory and Ken!

Thank you guys!!

The Counselling Tutor Podcast series are interesting, helpful & the information is easily absorbed (especially useful for clarification at times for students)

I enjoy the learning style of you both. The pod casts have been a "go to" place for assistance at any stage throughout my studies.

Once you find them, you will return...

Great source of info for students

Guy's I cant thank you enough for these free podcasts and the handouts which come along with each episode!! Each and everyone of them is so usefull for counselling students like me. Ken, just by listening to you I became so much wiser andhave learned so much about the person centred model and the counselling relationship in general. Rory, you explain things so well. I wish I had you both as my tutors! Keep up the great work. I am looking forward for the next podcast!

I'm on Lecture two and I love it! It's so good, convenient and easy to understand. I wish my counselling lecturer was as clear as you guy. Thank you for taking time out to make these podcasts.

As someone coming back to counselling after 10 years. This is a brilliant auricular injection of digestible theory practice and reflection in therapeutic hourly hits. Beautifully put together. Thankyou.

The Counselling Tutor is an excellant resource for all levels of counselling students. It helps to make the complicated simple, the confusing, understandable. Student life would be a whole lot more difficult for me without it. Thank you Rory and Ken

Worthwhile, useful, enjoyable, neccessary and relevant.

I am just coming to the end of a Level 2 Introductory Course in Counselling. I stumbled across these podcasts by accident, and have devoured them. Thanks to Rory and Ken's academic, yet down to earth, informative and sometimes humorous approach, I have decided to continue studying. These podcasts have been thought provoking and life changing for me.

These podcasts are really useful, and easy to listen to.

I have only recently discovered the Counselling Resource and as such have had a bit of a Counselling Tutor podcast fest over the last few weeks - mainly listening when doing taxi duties for kids in the car! All the podcasts have been brilliant, open and honest. I find them so helpful in further inhancing my understandings for my L4 course and go in to year 2 soon with the knowledge that I have an extra resource to tap in to. I love the back and forth between Rory and Ken too and find myself joining in with what I now feel are catchphrases :) Theory with Rory, Counselling - that's spelt with two Ls the UK way ... and there have been a more than one reference to eating elephants ;) Many Thanks!

So glad I found these podcasts. Rory and Ken are really engaging, informative and make all the subjects interesting. I listen on my long drives and I look forward to them everyday. Thank you both👍

Rory and Ken's explanations and discussions are really informative and i have found them invaluable. The feelings word list download will be very useful.

Just before I started level 3 I found this podcast and it has defnitely helped my studies. As I drive a lot i can listen to it in the car and it doesn't feel like 'homewrork'. Both presenters are knowledgeable and enthusiastic for their subject. A really great resourse for students of counselling. My peers in my class are getting fed up of hearing...."on my counselling podcast they said...."

These podcasts have become an invaluable tool for my learning. Ken and Rory's enthusiasm and knowledge make these a joy to listen too. They make complex concepts easy to understand and make great use of personal examples. I've learnt more from them than I have from any book so far. I can't recommend them highly enough!

I have listened to these podcasts throughout my own counselling training and plan to keep listening going forward. I've found it SO useful with assignments, exam revision and case studies. Thanks Rory and Ken for providing this fabulous resource!

Just entered the world of counselling study - level 2.

A good podcast to compliment my college studies.

It has helped expand and explain certain areas in my workbook.

Thank you

A brilliant tool for students ! These guys are my first port of call for anything pertaining to counselling skills study and assignments. Cant recommend highly enough!!

All information is current and relevant and easy to digest - I use this resource all the time when completeing assignments.

❤️Breaking through the jargon. Busting the boundaries of Mayhem and confusion. The concealed revealed in all things counselling. MOre, MoRe, MorE...... on level 4 👍👍🏾👍👍🏽 igniting my understanding 💣 brilliantly done. P.s Thanks guys 💕in helping my heart to grow 💕Gary.

I am a level 4 diploma student in counselling and psychotherapy using a person-centred integrative model. I am finding this series really helpful in deepening my understanding of the topics I have covered so far - by providing new insights, practical examples and great explanations. Thank you!

Clear, warm helpful. A great resource for when you can't face your books but know you should be doing something towards your course or for virtuous and geeky multi-tasking. Thanks guys.

Invaluable resource for anyone embarking upon Counselling training.The content is excellent and relevant. The flexibility of the podcast enables the listener to maximise their studies learning on the go. I wish I came across this at the beginning of my level 3👍

Presents complicated topics in a simple, accessible way. Plus Rory and Ken are really lovely to listen to! I am currently on a monthly course and this podcast is perfect for helping me feel connected to my studies in between classes. Thanks both for providing such a valuable resource, it really is very much appreciated.

I've listened to about a dozen episodes of this fantastic podcast so far, and have found it so helpful! I'm about a third of the way through a PGDip in Integrative Counselling, and it's so helpful to hear different viewpoints and ways of thinking about issues. I find the mix of theory, skills and discussion just right. Please keep them coming!!!

I really do enjoy the podcasts. They have taught me a lot. It is great to be able to check things I have been studying via the podcasts and they help me with my essays as well.

Thank you

I started studying counselling in August 2016 - and discovered the Counselling Tutor podcasts - rather by accident - about a month later. Since that time, I have found them to be an invaluable resource, and coupled with the website and the Facebook group, they really make the learning experience more accessible and easier. Not to mention that they are a great listen - I find myself re-listening to them all the time, and now they are part of my Saturday morning ritual.

I can't emphasise enough how well thought out, informative, well-rounded and enjoyable they are to listen to. Rory and Ken do an excellent job and their impact cannot be underestimated. Fantastic!

The 3 tips were delivered within seconds, and a great ressource as it is something we are touching on at the moment in my Level 2 course.

The podcasts are really worth listening to, they make theory and practice much easier to undeerstand and i have learnt many other things which i haven’t been able to grasp at college.
