Counselling and the Autistic
Spectrum
Saturday, 18th February 2012
The autistic spectrum is a broad umbrella
incorporating such terms as ‘Asperger’s Syndrome’,
‘Autism’, ‘High Functioning Autism’ and ‘Autistic
spectrum disorder’. Many children and adults who
have diagnoses within the spectrum are able to
attend mainstream schools, colleges and workplaces,
yet they can experience a great deal of confusion
and anxiety in any social setting. This study day
will focus on the autistic thinking style and how
this impacts on everyday living and in particular on
the counselling relationship. Jan Hawkins has been
working with adolescents and adults with within the
autistic spectrum for 25 years and has an adult son
who has autism. She also gives training on issues
relevant learning disabilities, taking her
understanding of the inner worlds of her clients to
residential care workers, support workers, social
workers, teachers and counsellors.
Workshops will be from 10.00am till 4.00pm

Suicidal Ideation
Friday, 24th February 2012
This day will provide
the opportunity for counsellors and others in the
helping professions to explore the sensitive issue
of the potential for suicide in clients with whom
they are working. The issue of 'chronic suicide'
sometimes known as 'indirect suicide' will also be
explored. Organisational policies often mean that
any discussion of suicidal ideation leads to
disclosure and breach of confidentiality of the
client/counsellor relationship. Those in private
practice must develop their own policy in regard to
if and at what point, they may need to disclose to a
GP that their client is at risk of suicide. This
study day will allow for exploration of each
participant’s feelings and experiences with the aim
of developing deeper confidence in their own
attitudes, beliefs and practice in relation to
suicidal ideation.
Workshops will be from 10.00am till 4.00pm
(register/coffee from 9.30am) and will be at the
above address. Each workshop will cost £60 to
include lunch and refreshments, and will be at:
376, Hale End Road, Highams Park, London, E4 9PB

Tears – crying and the
absence of crying
Friday 9th March 2012
Crying is a natural
process, a way of releasing emotions. When might
crying instead be getting in the way? What about
people who find they can’t cry? As therapists, do we
feel crying is evidence of movement within the
healing process? If so, what do we feel about the
client who steadfastly cannot cry? This day will
explore tears through the seminal work of Judith Kay
Nelson (Seeing through tears: Crying and attachment,
2005), as well as providing an opportunity to look
at participants’ experiences of crying and how these
colour our attitudes as therapists.
Workshops will be from 10.00am till 4.00pm
(register/coffee from 9.30am) and will be at the
above address. Each workshop will cost £60 to
include lunch and refreshments, and will be at:
376, Hale End Road, Highams Park, London, E4 9PB
Phone/Fax: 020 8531 9760

Touch in therapy
Friday, 23rd March 2012
The issue of touch
within therapy relationships relies on the personal
integrity of the therapist, unless the tradition of
therapy they practice prohibits it altogether. This
day will provide space for focus on each
participant’s relative comfort and/or discomfort
with touch within therapeutic relationships. We will
consider what might constitute ‘safe’ touch between
therapist and client, as well as the potential
healing aspects of touch. Whilst not seeking to
advocate touch as an aspect of all therapeutic
relationships, where touch does feel appropriate,
natural and potentially healing, to rule it out may
serve to undermine the relationship rather than
enhance it. This day will explore questions and
encourage each participant to reflect and consider
where touch fits into their own practice.
Workshops will be from 10.00am till 4.00pm
(register/coffee from 9.30am) and will be at the
above address. Each workshop will cost £60 to
include lunch and refreshments, and will be at:
376, Hale End Road, Highams Park, London, E4 9PB
Phone/Fax: 020 8531 9760
