Counselling CPD Workshop Assessment and Formulation: A Person Centred Approach
Counselling Psychology Services
A one day workshop for counselors and psychotherapist on the role of assessment and formulation within a Person Centred Framework.
Undertaking an initial assessment is now considered routine practice and many professional bodies have guidelines on the use of assessment and formulation. However, assessment and formulation have in the past been contentious issues, especially for those working within a humanistic framework.
