Pre Trial Therapy Guidance - New Guidance published in 2022
We waited a long time for this revision of the Pre Trial Therapy guidance and it was finally published in 2022. It's safe to say in many areas of the country the Police & CPS are still getting to grips with it... and many therapists are unaware of its existence!
In this new and completely rewritten workshop we will consider what the impact is for therapy and therapists. As well as covering all the important and fundamental principles we will allow plenty of time for you to ask questions and we'll use case studies to bring it to life.

Creating Transformative Relationships in Supervision - a course for Supervisors
9th December
ON ZOOM
9.30 am to 3.30 pm
£85
We both believe that the supervisory relationship is fundamental to an effective supervision experience and for us to aid our supervisees in their development. As supervisors and lovers of CPD we wanted to create a space where supervisors could come together to explore concepts and ideas to help us improve the supervision we offer and to develop transformative relationships with our supervisees.
This will be our 5th course for supervisors. We did the first 3 in the room and then we tried one on Zoom and do you know what – it was great! Every time we’ve run a supervisor’s course whether in the room or on zoom it has been a fabulous experience… characterised by warmth, sharing, insights and creativity.
In this workshop we will specifically look at:
This workshop will give supervisors time to think and reflect on their relationships with supervisees and the process of supervision. It is also a great place to network with other supervisors and share your experiences in a friendly environment. This will be an experiential course but based on well understood & researched theories of supervision.
The Unwanted Legacy - Generational Trauma
2025 date TBC
9.30 - 3.30
£85
On zoom
We know from our training that the roots of our adult selves go right back to our first experiences, as well as being influenced by our genetic inheritance from our parents. But what if both of these ‘nature and nurture’ influences were even more nuanced?
Scientists in the emerging field of epigenetics have discovered the mechanism that allows lived experience and acquired knowledge to be passed down the generations. This means that an individual’s life experience doesn’t die with them but endures in genetic form.
What this means for therapy is that although how our parents treated us – and whether our needs were met is important – that the source of our client’s feelings of pain may also lie within the stories of their parents and grandparents rather than in their own. Fragments of life experience, memories and body sensations can live on as if reaching out from the past to try and find resolution in the present.
In this workshop we will weave together the groundbreaking research with therapeutic exercises, and clinical examples to give you a different way of approaching trauma work.
Specifically, we will:
Cancellation policy
Fees are non-refundable. However, if you cancel 4 weeks or more prior to a course you can transfer your booking to another of our courses. Whilst we fully appreciate that life often happens last minute, we need time to be able to try and sell your space to another delegate, so we cannot simply transfer you to another course. If you cancel late we do offer you the option to re-book another course within the next 12 months at half price.
Running training courses is administratively hard work. We know that for most training organisations if you cancel you simply lose your fee completely, and many also charge a fee for amending bookings. We take the view that our policy is the fairest way of doing things, and whilst we realise not everyone will agree with us we have to have a plan & policy in place, which we hope people will understand and accept.
