In training

Learn reflective practice while you are learning to be a therapist

Your first clients deserve your full attention. Sentique holds the reflective side of training — what happened in you during the session — so nothing significant is lost between the room, supervision and the assignment deadline.

If any of this sounds like you

  • “I have just started placement and I am not sure what I am allowed to feel.”
  • “Something mattered in that session and by Thursday I cannot recall what.”
  • “I am reading about attachment and living it in the room, and the two do not meet.”
  • “My course wants reflective evidence, and I have a notebook I cannot search.”

What this stage actually asks of you

First placement asks more of you than anyone says out loud

You are holding a client, a course, a supervisor and your own reactions at the same time. Sentique gives the reactions somewhere to live so they stop competing for the attention the client needs.

Your therapeutic identity is still forming

You are trying on modalities, sentences and ways of sitting with silence. Seeing what you keep returning to in your own words is how that identity becomes yours rather than borrowed.

Six clients, not sixty

Most reflective tools show you nothing until you have a full caseload. Sentique works from as few as two reflections, because that is the reality of training.

Supervision comes round fast

You arrive with a vague sense that something happened. Bringing your own specific words changes what the hour can do.

Assignments want depth, not summary

Reflective writing produced months later loses its texture. Written at the time, it has detail a tutor can feel.

Theory and practice sit in separate folders

Connect what you noticed in the room to the concepts on your reading list, then decide yourself where the fit holds and where it breaks.

How Sentique supports you: Capture → Reflect → Learn → Grow

The same four movements every practitioner uses. Here is what each one looks like where you are standing.

  1. 01Capture

    Two minutes after the session, before the bus

    Speak or type what stayed with you — the feeling, the theme, where it sat in your body. Nothing about the client's record. Placement is busy; this is the only step that has to be quick.

  2. 02Reflect

    One question that opens the session up

    Sentique asks the question a rigorous supervisor would ask, grounded in what you actually wrote. You answer it in your own words. That answer becomes your journal, and later your assignment evidence.

  3. 03Learn

    Theory that attaches to something real

    Bring your reflection to the concepts you are studying and to CPD that matches where you are stuck — not a generic course list. Learning lands differently when it explains a session you were in.

  4. 04Grow

    Evidence you can hand in

    Hours, reflective content and certificates assemble into a portfolio in your body's format. You watch your range widen across the year rather than guessing whether you are progressing.

How this usually goes

  1. I have just started placement.

  2. This is exactly what I am struggling with.

  3. Sentique understands that.

  4. This is how it supports me — this week, not eventually.

  5. I can see myself still using this after I qualify.

The journey continues

Sentique does not stop here. It carries on — see how it reads for practitioners.
