CPD Workshop

Facilitator

Jennie Miller CTA (P) PTSTA (P)

Who is it aimed at?

Counselling & psychotherapy students to experienced practitioners.

Course Outline

Story telling is an ancient art stretching back thousands of years; as therapists we are accustomed to listening to our client’s stories but in this workshop, we look at the practitioner becoming the storyteller and the benefits this can have to the therapeutic relationship and work. Telling a story is dropping a pebble into the unconscious, from the ripples that follow there is learning, wonderings and questions to be explored.

Learning Outcomes

To understand what stories may mean for you and your practice. How to start integrating this into your work should you choose to do so.
