Training and Group work
Counsellor training
Counsellor training involves three areas of personal development: self-awareness (or reflexivity); theories about what is useful to people in counselling; and techniques that aid the counselling relationship. My particular theory areas for couples and family counselling are Systemic and Narrative ideas; Psychodynamic counselling; and Attachment theory.
- I'm experienced in training relationship counsellors
- I've taught courses at different academic levels (level 4 and Masters)
- I aim to make my teaching and training enlightening, encouraging and enjoyable
Working with groups - Groups are important to me, I believe they are a good space to learn about ourselves and others
- As well as decades of experience being a group member and I have lead or chaired different sorts of groups
- I make a space for people to connect to each other with interest and curiosity.
