In Episode 335 of the Counselling Tutor Podcast, your hosts Rory Lees-Oakes and Ken Kelly take us through this week's three topics:

• Firstly in 'Ethical, Sustainable Practice', we look at extra-therapeutic factors in Supervision and how a client's world outside the therapy room can influence outcomes.
• Then in 'Practice Matters', Rory interviews James Hawes, author of The Secret Lives of Men, exploring how we can better understand and support male clients in therapy.
• And lastly in 'Student Services', Rory and Ken talk about how to begin a counselling session, and what to say in those crucial opening moments.
