The programme supports trainees seeking personal therapy. Trainees considering personal therapy are encouraged to discuss this with either their mentor, tutors, or with the Personal Development Clinical Tutor (Claire Anderson), who will assist them as appropriate in finding personal therapeutic support (for example advising them where to search). Neither course staff nor the Personal Development Associate Tutor would have any direct contact with a trainee’s therapist, and trainees would not be required to share any details of arrangements made around their own therapy. Trainees are able to use a proportion of their trainee budget to access personal therapy.
Currently, the course is able to facilitate access to Personal Reformulation sessions. These sessions are offered by Cognitive Analytic Therapists and consist of an initial meeting and a follow up session. Trainees can opt to fund these session out of their allocated trainee budget. If trainees are interested they can access a list of potential CAT therapists and find out further details about this opportunity through the ‘Personal reformulation information for trainees’ document.
