This volume presents counsellors' self-care journeys across all stages of the professional lifespan—early career, mid-career, and tenured professional. Each chapter presents a contributor's personal reflection and insight on sustaining oneself in the field through a strengths-based, autoethnographic lens. Addressing challenges like burnout, structural barriers, and global events (e.g., pandemics, natural disasters, and human rights movements), the collection highlights the realities of balancing self-care while supporting others. Although all affiliated with ACAP University College, the contributors bring unique perspectives shaped by personal experiences—such as motherhood, caregiving, grief, and cultural contexts—and professional backgrounds in clinical psychology, research, allied health, trauma-informed care, and multidisciplinary practice. Aimed at inspiring emerging counsellors and students while offering insights to seasoned professionals, this volume provides practical strategies on how resilience and longevity can be supported across the counselling profession.
