COUNSELLING SKILLS

This weekend is now an integral part of the Practitioner Course. In a professional setting we need to know how to use appropriate language and listen intently to our clients to create a safe and supportive environment. This weekend will enhance every therapist’s practice.

This course is run by Philippa Lubbock, a UKCP registered Gestalt psychotherapist and healer.

INDIVIDUAL SUPERVISION

Supervision is an integral part of the course. These sessions will be arranged separate to the weekends at a time that suits you on a one to one basis with your tutor. Individual supervision enables you to get all the attention you need to overcome any personal difficulties on your way to being a successful practitioner.
