During the course, it is highly likely you will want/need to engage in your own Personal Therapy, and we often get requests from students for "recommendations" - which we cannot do.

Instead, please see below our "suggestions" for seeking out your own therapists.

How to Find a Therapist

The following resources may be helpful to begin with:

BACP "How to Get Therapy: About Therapy": https://www.bacp.co.uk/about-therapy/how-to-get-therapy/

BACP "Introduction to Counselling and Psychotherapy": BACP 2021 - Introduction to Counselling and Psychotherapy - Client Information Sheet.pdf

Marjon Counselling Service

Marjon offers students (including yourselves!) FREE short-term counselling up to 7 sessions with one of their qualified therapists.

You can make a self-referral through by emailing (Counselling@marjon.ac.uk) or calling (01752 636850).
Further information is here: https://www.marjon.ac.uk/student-life/student-support-/student-counselling/

Please note: No Marjon academic tutors/lecturers work within this service (or vice versa)!

C&P Directories

There are several "directories" where therapists will advertise their services.

Many have helpful search functions to narrow down your needs.

We suggest exploring these directories to find someone you feel you may be able to work with.

Counselling Directory: https://www.counselling-directory.org.uk/
UK Counsellors Directory: https://www.ukcounsellors-directory.co.uk/
BACP Therapists Directory: https://www.bacp.co.uk/search/Therapists
NCPS Counsellor Directory: https://nationalcounsellingsociety.org/counselling-directory

C&Ps who have approached Marjon directly

Sometimes, C&Ps will contact us asking for their details to be shared with C&P students.

We cannot "recommend" any of these therapists (of course), there is no "vetting process" etc.
We simply wish to support fellow professionals who have expressed an interest in wishing to support new trainee/student C&Ps (i.e., you!).
