Therapy Training: the CONs (and some PROs!) ft Charlotte Battista

In this episode, I welcome Charlotte Battista to discuss the challenges and some of the benefits of therapy training. Charlotte is in the early stages of her counselling and wellbeing career, with a passion for corporate work and an interest in relationships. This episode provides a comprehensive look into the world of therapy training, offering practical advice and personal experiences.

Charlotte shares her background and what drew her to the field of therapy, influenced by her father's career as a mental health nurse.  The conversation then delves into the potential challenges faced during therapy training, including time management, getting placements and balancing academic commitments, as well as what she might plan to do looking into the future. 

We talk in detail about all aspects of Charlotte's experiences to date in the training, including being one of the youngest people on her course and what that's been like for her. She also offers valuable advice for those considering a career in therapy and the significance of social media in building a professional presence and networking and shares her favourite piece of life advice: "Worry is a waste of the imagination"!
