Research has affirmed the value of psychotherapy as the treatment of choice for many psychological difficulties. It is important that those of us working in this field keep up to date with our knowledge of psychotherapy so that we can offer our clients the best available treatment.
Who should attend?
These workshops are designed for professionals and postgraduate students who work in psychology, counselling, psychotherapy and related fields. The workshops will assume that participants have a reasonable background in mental health and psychotherapy generally and have some practice experience to draw on. The workshops are designed to enable you to bridge between your existing knowledge and the latest models of practice in psychotherapy. The workshops will provide enough background for participants who may have only limited exposure to any of the models but will also provide more experienced clinicians with opportunities to discuss complex and difficult cases.
