Counselling CPD Workshop: Transformative Practice
Counselling Psychology Services
In the same way that practitioners can be impacted negatively by their work, it is also recognised that like their clients, they can transform in ways that are positive. Vicarious growth is the term used to describe the positive changes that take place at a cognitive, intrapersonal and interpersonal level. This workshop will focus on this aspect of practice in particular, and explore how counsellors are changed by their work in ways that are life enriching. The workshop will draw upon techniques from Mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy , Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and other cultural traditions to help counsellors transform the negative effects of their practice in to ways that enhance their personal and professional development. Positive feedback from previous attendees include:
“Lovely balance of information and interactive work … it has helped me understand and appreciate the vicarious growth in the context of my work and its significance in my continuous transformation as a therapist”
“The best workshop I have been on in a long time. Practical, informative, research based and a safe environment”
