Workshops / Study Days Autumn 2010

The study days are certificated for CPD and maximum group size is 8.


Paradoxical safety – Friday, 10th September 2010
Why is it that some of our clients seem stuck in unhealthy patterns despite their desire to change? Why do people caught in abusive relationships, recognise the dangers and hate their situations, yet steadfastly remain in those relationships? Is it simply resistance? This study day will focus on the paradoxical safety of the hated and unhealthy patterns as well as what may be needed to empower the individual to move on. We will explore also anxiety management strategies which can help those who want to make changes but feel pinned or trapped by the increase in anxiety such changes can provoke.

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

The Healing Power of Story: The tale of the ugly duckling – Friday 15th October 2010

The story of the ugly duckling has particular relevance to those who feel the outcast in their family of origin. For individuals who grew up sensing that there was something wrong – some mismatch between themselves and other members of the family – this story can bring hope. This day is appropriate for anyone who feels drawn to the story, whether because you identify with the experience of feeling different and outside the family, or you are working with clients who have this experience.

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

Suicidal Ideation – Friday, 22nd October 2010

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
Phone/Fax: 020 8531 9760

Vicarious trauma – Friday, 3rd December 2010

This day will focus on the effects of listening to traumatic experiences, and how we may be vulnerable to taking that trauma within ourselves in our work. Sometimes known as ‘compassion fatigue’, "empathic strain," "secondary victimization," (Lindy, 1988; Figley, 1983), bearing witness to another’s trauma will affect us. We will explore the variety of ways in which our accompanying of another as they work with their trauma can affect us, and how we can recognize and attend to our own needs.

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
