Title: Teaching counsellors to teach.
Authors: Stewart-Harries, Amanda
Source: Therapy Today. Jul/Aug2026, Vol. 37 Issue 6, p56-59. 4p. 1 Color Photograph.
Subjects: Psychotherapy, Clinical supervision, Professional ethics, Teaching methods, Mentoring, Group dynamics, Teacher development, Curriculum planning, Professional employee training, Interpersonal relations, Counseling, Professional competence
Abstract: The article focuses on the need to improve the preparation and support of counselling and psychotherapy educators in the UK, emphasizing that clinical competence alone does not equate to effective teaching. It highlights concerns raised by students about toxic training environments and argues for formal teacher training tailored to the relational and emotional complexities of counselling education, alongside the establishment of a national forum for educators and the mainstreaming of teaching supervision. These initiatives aim to professionalize counselling education, enhance teaching quality, safeguard student wellbeing, and foster a community of practice that supports ongoing development and ethical standards. The article calls for institutional investment and sector-wide recognition of teaching as a specialized practice essential to the integrity of the profession. [Extracted from the article]
