Premature termination is a prevalent challenge faced by counsellors-in-training. To explore the experience of counsellors-in-training with premature termination of clients, this qualitative study used a transcendental phenomenological approach and recruited eight counsellors-in-training from a medium-size university in the southeastern United States. Adherent to the phenomenology approach with its assumptions, the authors conducted individual interviews with each participant and followed data collection and analysis processes of the transcendental phenomenological approach. Four overarching themes include: (a) Clinical Growth, (b) Coping Strategies, (c) Reaction to PT, and (d) Counsellor Education. Based on the results, discussions and recommendations were provided.
