We held a workshop on Shame in the Therapy Hour with Christiane Sanderson examining shame in counselling and psychotherapy, and came away feeling we had a deeper understanding of shame in a professional and personal context.

Stories, narratives, and metaphors are powerful tools in any context, not least in a therapeutic one. This is no coincidence, as human desire to tell and be told stories in biologically ingrained within us.

When it comes to practicing as a psychotherapist or counsellor various forms of qualifications exist in order to provide the skills and training that you need. And when you’re qualified, there are amazing CPD and training courses to keep your knowledge fresh and dandy.

In March 2015, Michael Soth came to talk to us about conflict in therapy. As a precursor to the workshop, Michael wrote an introduction to the topic, which examines the limitations of psychotherapy theory, the importance of the self and subjectivity, and the notion of conflict.

Jenny Riddell hosted our workshop on Betrayal and the Couple in March 2015. She has specialist interests in how a couple grieves, infertility, affairs and working with couples in later life.

Back in September 2014, we hosted a workshop run by Tony Buckley on The Art and Science of Play: Using Play, Humour and Laughter in Therapy.
