This morning's Community Meet Up was a lovely affair 😊

💙 Like-minded people
💙 Learning through conversation
💙 Sharing experiences from practice
💙 Building networks for referrals

One of the topics was therapist self-doubt which resulted in this mind map.

Next one is in January 😊
Booking is possible now and watch this space for more.

One of the things we were asking our Counsellors-in-Training today is,
'What if menopause is in the counselling room but it isnt named?'

This evening's counselling training was experiential learning at its best. Laughter and tonnes of creativity while still getting lots of learning in. Brilliant!

We’re chuffed to bits to finally share this one. 💙

Sam recently sat down with Amy Peters to talk about neurodivergent-affirming practice, including Amy’s DIVERSE model, the assumptions we can unknowingly bring into the therapy room, and what it might mean to move beyond simply making ‘accommodations’.

It’s a thoughtful, generous conversation with plenty to take away and reflect on.

In Conversation with Amy Peters is now available to watch on YouTube and on the Training for Counsellors website.

Why not grab a brew and join us ☕

And this might just be the beginning of a few more In Conversation with… chats. 👀

🗣️One of the benefits of completing counselling training where the facilitators are in private practice is that sometimes students benefit from more specialised knowledge that can inform their practice.

Today, our Level 4 Diploma students have been exploring working therapeutically when chronic illness is present.

Our Linsey specialises in this field of practice, meaning that the nuance of this therapeutic work could be explored with depth and sensitivity.

Thanks Linsey for another great lesson 👏🏼
