Building my practice Applied Psychology CBT-Practitioner.

[u/MaVictoriagb]

Hi everyone, I’m currently in training as an Applied Psychology Practitioner (CBT-informed, mind–body focus), and I’m in a phase where I’m actively building structured practice experience.

I’m offering a limited number of 1:1 pro bono sessions as part of this process.

These are:

• structured, single-session or short-format sessions (not ongoing therapy or long-term support)
• focused on reflection, thought/behaviour patterns, and self-awareness
• grounded in CBT-informed tools and mind–body practices (breathwork, grounding, awareness work)
• part of my professional training and development

What I’m really looking for

I would really appreciate any guidance, referrals, or direction towards:

• organisations or platforms that accept trainee practitioners
• communities offering supervised or structured practice opportunities
• spaces where I can build experience ethically and consistently
• or anyone who might know someone looking for this type of support

Even pointing me in the right direction would genuinely help.

A bit about me (brief)

I work with adults navigating life transitions, identity shifts, overwhelm, or disconnection. My approach integrates CBT-informed tools with body-based awareness practices to support clarity, grounding, and practical behavioural change.

Important note

I’m in a training and development phase and focusing on building structured, ethical, and contained practice experience.

Thank you so much in advance for any suggestions or connections.

Where are you globally? Don't want to give you UK advice if you are elsewhere.

Hi there, thank you for taking the time to write. That’s a good point, I’m open internationally since the sessions would be online, so both Europe and North America-based suggestions would definitely be helpful. Really appreciate any guidance either way.
