When I saw the CMHT a year or two ago there was a student sitting in on some of my sessions. To be honest, if my main CPN guy left the room, I'd say a lot more to her than I would to him. I missed her when she left! I found it helpful to have someone there - as long as I'd been consulted before the session because if I hadn't, I was a bit miffed on principle!
A younger person's care is, like the above said, slightly more enthusiastic and less jaded which can be nice, sometimes.
