Personal Development for Therapists



Overview

This 30-hour course allows qualified therapists to continue their personal growth within a group context.  


Therapists may miss the safe yet challenging environment of group work that they experienced during their training.  This course provides a space that allows them to continue to expand their personal awareness and ensure their ongoing personal development, self-care and personal fulfilment.  Aware that we cannot journey further with our clients than we have journeyed ourselves, therapists may see this as a vital support for themselves and their clients.  The course will be experiential in nature, using creative methods, reflection and group interaction.


A willingness to openly explore and share with others will be necessary.  Each group will have between eight and sixteen members.
