`The book was refreshingly realistic, recognizing that trainees have lives and commitments outside their training course and that the task of juggling all the different demands is not an easy one.... I would definitely recommend this book to fellow trainees. I think it will become a must have at the start of any course and an essential resource to be referred to over and over' - Counselling Psychology Review
