Finish the Last Lap of 2023 with a Bang.
Research shows that elite runners pace themselves to get a burst of speed on the final lap. But they all do it differently depending on race conditions and context. It's the same with CPD - we are moving in the final quarter of 2023 and there is still time to make sure you finish the last lap of the year with training success. So have a look at our new workshops to break through the tape of professional development with a personal best.

Tolerating Uncertainty: A Practical Toolkit to Help Clients Deal with Doubt
Sat, 23 Sep 2023 09:30 - 11:30
For many clients in therapy an inability to tolerate uncertainty can lead to severe distress and unhelpful behaviours designed to reduce uncertainty often at a cost. Understanding Intolerance of Uncertainty (IoU) should be a key part of any counsellor's toolkit.
But how can we help clients tolerate uncertainty better? What are the invidivual differences in profiles of tolerating uncertainty? What is the role of cognition and behaviours in helping clients cope with uncertainty? What are the links with Unhelpful Thinking Styles? What are the interpersonal dynamics which can maintain and aggravate Intolerance of Uncertainty? This workshop will give you practical guidance on tackling this issue along with key resources.
CBT for Trauma, PTSD and cPTSD
Sun, 24 Sep 2023 09:30 - 12:00
This webinar will provide an introduction to treatments for the collection of psychological challenges known as Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) from a CBT / psychotherapeutic perspective. This will include looking at the goals of treatment and the techniques used to achieve them by working collaboratively and compassionately with clients. NB This workshop has been extended and updated to include new material on Cognitive Processing Therapy for PTSD (Resick).
Treating Perfectionism
Mon, 25 Sep 2023 10:00 - 12:00
Do you have clients who are overwhelmed by a focus on the perfect? As a therapist are you a perfectionist? Do you find yourself spending too much time on tasks, constantly seeking to improve and perfect everything you do? While striving for excellence can be a positive trait, perfectionism can also hold us back and cause unnecessary stress and anxiety.
In this webinar, we will explore the negative effects of perfectionism and learn practical strategies for helping our clients - and ourselves - overcome it. We will cover topics such as setting healthy boundaries, shifting our mindset, and finding balance in our work and personal lives.

Are you looking for a refresher on contemporary approaches to working in school, college, family and care settings with children and young people? Join us online on Sun, 1 Oct 2023 09:30 - 11:30 BST to examine modern ideas and a new practical approach to working with this age group: Brief CBT for C&YP.

Patrick McGhee said
"Alison Triste's book is a genuinely practical, evidence-based handbook for working with children and young people which no CBT therapist working in this area should be without. Its focus on the everyday mental health challenges experienced by young people in modern education and family life is very much in line with the Practical CBT philosophy: what do I need to know about the practical delivery of therapy in the real world and how do I do it?"

New! How to Be a Happier Therapist
Sat, 7 Oct 2023 09:15 - 11:15
All members of all professions go through periods when they are not enjoying their work as much as they used to. Therapists are no different. Others find that certain kinds of clients leave them deflated or unfulfilled. For many therapists everything is going fine but there just feels like there could be ways to make therapy more enaging and enjoyable for them as therapists. Sometimes the practical pressures of private practice or organisational demands undermine what might otherwise be a rewarding and uplifting therapeutic experience. Being able to shape therapy so that you can enjoy being a therapist is an important part of personal and professional self-care. And, of course, clients are more likely to enage and thrive when their therapist is enjoying the therapeutic process too.
Some of the questions we will address in this practical workshop are:
- How can we maximise our enjoyment of therapy as therapists?
- Why might we sometimes feel down for no reason after a session?
- What therapeutic priniciples can we apply to our own attitude and experience in therapy?
- What practices might we want to stop doing that are undermining our fulfilment as therapists?
- What are the general principles of enjoyment that we can apply to our work as therapists?
