ABSTRACT
Counselling training happens in the context of a group: this is both a simple fact and a highly complex reality. As Mair writes, ‘we know more than we can say and have to learn sometimes to say what we do not know’ (1989). Such an attitude to learning reflects the depth and subtlety of this type of learning situation, in which we as trainers are usually learning at least as much as our students. None of this may be comfortable.
