Who takes this course?
This workshop is for psychotherapists and counsellors, clinical and counselling psychologists and coaches at all stages of their careers. No prior knowledge of Gestalt is required.
About the course
This two-day workshop will focus on:
- choice of words,
- use of words,
- useless words,
- meanings and derivations
and all that is involved in making economical and useful interventions.
”How can I say that?”, “I’m trying to say…”, “What I want to express…“. These are familiar topics in supervision, and this workshop is a chance to find more ways of finding what you really mean and saying it in ways you want the client to understand.
Therapists at all stages of their careers are likely to benefit from extending their repertoire of intervention. Learning from each other in the freedom of this workshop is one way to do so, and perhaps have some laughs at the same time.
At the end of the workshop, you’ll receive a Statement of Attendance for 12 hours of CPD.
