Exciting New Developments at Physis Scotland

Hot of the Press

Low-Cost Counselling Service
We are thrilled to announce that Physis Scotland has joined forces with UK Counselling Network (UKCN), a social enterprise, to offer a low-cost counselling service to people in Edinburgh on a low income.  Launching in March 2022, we are excited to be able to offer this valuable service to clients and give our advanced trainees the opportunity of developing their clinical practice.

The service will be facilitated by UKCN, who specialise in this service and students interested in applying should contact Jamie Jefferys, Placement Co-ordinator for more information and to submit an application.

Trainees can meet with their clients, face-to-face at Physis Scotland, 22 Drumsheugh Gardens, Edinburgh.  There will be an opportunity to offer an online service for those of you not based in Edinburgh (conditions apply).

Offering support through online gatherings and many additional benefits, membership is open to all Physis Scotland trainees who have completed at least a full year of Core Training.

Next Event

Saturday 12th March. 2022, 10.00 -11.00 am
Trauma & TA
(Online via Zoom. Members will be sent the link to join)

The impact of trauma has become an increasingly recognised part of therapy. How important is it for us as therapists to be “trauma-informed” and what does that mean?

An informal conversation between two TA therapists, Fiona Brien and Jane Cox, about the presence of trauma in their clients, how it presents itself and what tools they have found useful to help the client. The format of the morning will be a 30-minute conversation between Fiona and Jane, followed by an open audience discussion. Useful reading and audio list will be made available.
