Online Specialist Training and CPD for Counsellors & Psychotherapists
We provide specialist online training for counsellors & psychotherapists - but it's still small size, interactive, informative & engaging!
This is not just boring "sit and listen"... we encourage questions and we provide thought-provoking activities.
We cover a wide range of topics from trauma and Pre-Trial Therapy to more creative areas like Working with Nesting Dolls and Therapeutic writing
Upcoming courses - Winter 2024/2025
20th January
'Unlocking the Unconscious'
Therapeutic Writing in Therapy or Supervision
In this NEW COURSE we'll explore the power of writing to unlock unconsious thoughts and aid processing. This will be an experiential course with lots of variety around the different ways we use writing to explore.
27th January
Exploring the Father Wound
Fathers can so often be absent in our lives – through divorce/separation, work, or most often simply emotionally absent. We explore the personal impact and ways of working with clients to address their wounds. This workshop complements our course on the Mother Wound and has proved equally popular. It combines some didactic theoretical learning with experiential exercises to help you explore your own relationship with your father, and ways of exploring this with clients.
Who Are Inspire CPD?
