Therapy with Bereaved Clients
This one-day module complements the first and progresses from it. It is designed for counsellors, therapists and practitioners seeing bereaved clients.
The workshop is a stand-alone day and attendance at the earlier two-day course is not an essential entry requirement. It does, however, require participants to be working with bereaved clients.
This workshop explores in-depth, relevant therapeutic matters through case studies, supervision sessions, experiential activities and role-plays. It also provides participants with opportunities to practice acquired knowledge and skills.
