In this episode of Mind Your Mind, host Roxana speaks with Beth Roberts, co-founder of Counsellors Therapy Pot, about the importance of counsellor wellbeing. They discuss the unique challenges counsellors face, including financial empowerment, the need for self-care, and the importance of setting boundaries. The conversation emphasizes the necessity of nurturing one’s own mental health to effectively support clients and highlights practical steps counsellors can take to improve their wellbeing.
Beth Roberts is Co-founder of Counsellors Therapy Pot, a membership hub offering affordable counselling for counsellors. Beth and Niamh set up Counsellors Therapy Pot because they wanted to make it possible for counsellors and therapists to access affordable counselling, something they feel is essential due to the emotionally and mentally demanding nature of the role. 2025 will also see the launch of Counsellors Therapy Pot Self-Care CPD to help counsellors achieve and maintain good wellbeing and mental health, therefore fostering a good work-life balance and enabling a fruitful career.
Beth is an MBACP accredited integrative counsellor, specialising in supporting women who have experienced trauma as well as anyone who is experiencing or has experienced workplace trauma, stress, or adversity.
Prior to becoming a counsellor Beth worked in Human Resources and is educated in HR to post-graduate level. Beth now uses this knowledge and understanding to help people thrive in the workplace.
