NEW Certificate in Working with Children and Adolescents
We are very pleased to have added a Certificate course on the Gestalt Approach to Working with Children to our short course programme recently. The course is led by tutor, Jon Blend MA CQSW, who is a UKCP registered psychotherapist and a counsellor. He has been working with children for over 12 years now, both in the NHS and in private practice having trained at the Violet Oaklander Institute for Child and Adolescent Therapy (USA). He also participated in the 'Relational Child' conference held at Esalen in 2007. This course will run for one week in March 2010, so don't delay in booking your place.
Another addition to our Short Course programme is a two-day workshop on Motivational Interviewing entitled Understanding Motivation and How People Change. Clinical psychologist and Gestalt psychotherapist, Toni Gilligan, leads this excellent opportunity for professionals from a wide variety of fields to learn the skills of facilitating real and lasting change.
Groupwork expert, Michael Ellis MA, continues to deliver our Certificate in Groupwork. The essential element of this Certificate is the Group Facilitation course, helping develop groupwork practice not only in therapeutic work but in any setting; social work, teaching, probation, nursing are just a few examples.
This course can be taken alone or as part of the Certificate. Again, it fills quickly so early booking is advised.
World renowned practitioners and international lecturers, Jane Puddy and Gaie Houston, collaborate to offer our Diploma in Supervision. The 1st part, for those who have not yet trained as a Supervisor but who are either just beginning or just about to begin offering supervision, is led by Jane. The 2nd part, for those who have already completed Gaie's previously offered Supervisor's Practicum, the 1st part of the Diploma or an agreed satisfactory level of previous learning and experience, is led by Gaie. Participants in part 2 have an opportunity to submit a case study up to 6 months after the end of the course which, if successful, will entitle them to a Diploma in Supervision.
Writer, poet and performer, Angelika Wienrich, offers workshops in Free Fall - Creative Writing, a Gestalt Approach for those interested in exploring avenues to support their confidence in creative expression and/or learning this approach as a self help or therapeutic tool. Participants do not need any previous experience in either creative writing or Gestalt.
Further information and online booking for the full short course programme is available in our Short Courses section.
