Dear
I am a psychodynamic counsellor and co-ordinator of counselling at Stevenage and North Herts
Counselling Centre am also a research student studying towards as PhD at the University of
Hertfordshire and it is in connection with this that I write. My preliminary study is on aspects of
the therapeutic relationship. To further this innovative programme
of research I need the
collaboration of clients in counselling who are willing to keep a journal of their weekly
counselling sessions for fifteen weeks. Rather than find clients through their therapists, which
would be too disruptive of
the therapeutic relationship, I am hoping to find counselling
certificate students who are alos clients in personal therapy/counselling. I wonder if your training
course has students who might fit this criteria.
Apart from the journal keeping the research will include five or six (local) closed group meetings
to be held at the University of Hertfordshire or another appropriate venue, where the research
process and the journal keeping can be discussed. If you have students undertaking counselling I
would appreciate it if you would help me arrange to contact them. Would you be kind enough to
distribute the enclosed leaflets which have SAEs attached and display one leaflet and this letter
on your notice board. This will enable interested students to contact me so that I can arrange an
initial meeting where I will explain the research process and answer
any other questions they
many have.
Please write or phone if you have any questions about this study. The project should take place
from……………to…………………..
I look forward to hearing from you. SAE enclosed.
Yours sincerely

Dear
I am a psychodynamic counsellor and co-ordinator of counselling at Stevenage and North Herts
Counselling Centre. I am also a research student studying towards as PhD at the University of
Hertfordshire and it is in connection with this that I write. My preliminary study began exploring
the concepts of containment and freedom in the therapeutic relationship and the main study will
enlarge on this theme.. To further this ground breaking programme of research I need the
collaboration of clients in counselling who are willing to keep a journal of their weekly
counselling sessions up to 40 sessions, over a period of one year. Rather than find clients through
their therapists, which would be too disruptive of the therapeutic relationship, I am hoping to
find counselling certificate students who are also clients in personal therapy/counselling. I
wonder if your training course has students who might fit this criteria?
Apart from the journal keeping the research will include approximately eight (local)
closed
group meetings to be held at the University of Hertfordshire or another appropriate venue, where
the research process and the journal keeping can be discussed. If you have students undertaking
counselling who may be interested in participating and contributing towards this research I
would appreciate it if you would help me arrange to contact them. Would you be kind enough to
distribute the enclosed leaflets which have SAEs attached and display one leaflet and this letter
on your notice board. This will enable interested students to contact me so that I can arrange an
initial meeting where I will explain the research process and answer any other questions they
