Counselling and Psychotherapy - Person-centred

26th February 2014 - Training concerns

Is counselling training too academic these days and is the art of forming a therapeutic relationship being lost? I do wonder with the emphasis on higher and higher academic qualifications for what is, in essence, about two people forming a healing relationship based on certain relational principles and ethical standards.

Relationship comes from the heart and I do wonder whether there is a risk that this focus gets lost.
