Do you live in Victoria? Or are you planning to relocate here in advance of your practicum?  *

The practicum student program at Bodymind Counselling asks for a commitment of 12 months. Students are expected to continue seeing clients at the same frequency (5-10 per week) even once they have completed the required hours for their university. We have found that this provides a better experience for clients, who can continue working with a therapist at a reduced rate for longer. It also provides a more robust learning experience for students. Is this something you are able to agree to?  *
How well do you feel your coursework has prepared you, or will prepare you, to work with trauma? Do you have any other experience that has taught you about trauma and how to work with it safely?  *
Bodymind Counselling is a group practice with a speciality in providing trauma-informed, experiential, relational, body-oriented, attachment-oriented psychotherapy. Please describe your specific interest in or experience with AEDP, Somatic Transformation, IFS, or other similar modalities.  *
Do you intend to pursue any training in a specific modality during or after your practicum? Please describe. *
Bodymind Counselling receives a lot of referrals from the LGBTQIA+ population. Competence and comfort working with queer and trans identified individuals is a core requirement for our clinicians. Please tell us about any experience, either personally or professionally, that prepares you for this. 
Please describe your own therapy experience (in general terms is fine) and how it has informed the way that you imagine you will practice as a therapist. 
Is there anything else it would be helpful for me to know about you or about what motivated you to apply at Bodymind Counselling?
