Victory Within™ Academia - Enrol Now for the 2026 Mock Client Series
Victory Within™ Academia is pleased to announce the next edition of its flagship training programme: the Mock Client Series.
Designed for counselling and psychology trainees, the Mock Client Series provides a structured, step-by-step framework for practising the essential stages of the counselling process. While most academic programmes provide a strong theoretical base, many students still feel uncertain when sitting with a client for the first time. This course bridges that gap.
Across eight sessions, trainees experience the counselling journey from the very first meeting through to endings. Each session combines theoretical grounding, practical prompts, and reflective exercises to develop confidence, precision, and ethical awareness.
Who the Series Is For
Many psychology and counselling students share a common challenge: how to move from theory into practice. You may have studied Freud, Bowlby, and others, yet when faced with a client, the questions often arise: What do I do in the first session? How do I manage silence, endings, or transference?
This programme also welcomes those who are still considering a career in psychology or counselling and would like to experience what client work feels like before committing to formal study. It serves as a guided introduction to the process, offering clarity and confidence about whether this path is right for you.
Even for qualified practitioners, the Mock Client Series can be valuable. Many professionals return to foundational skills to refine their presence, structure, and confidence with clients. The course therefore benefits both emerging and established mental health practitioners seeking depth, structure, and renewed understanding in their work.
Course Format
The Mock Client Series is delivered fully online, with optional live group supervision available.
It has been developed for adult learners who wish to strengthen their clinical foundation while deepening their understanding of intimacy, desire, trauma, and relational dynamics, as explored in The Victory Within Method™.
