As an organisation we aim to develop CPD webinars for trainee and qualified counsellors.
Here is a list of upcoming webinar dates. Further down the page you will find a synopsis of the different webinars we offer:
Creative Supervision Using the Seven-Eyed Model
This immersive online training invites counselling professionals into a vibrant exploration of clinical supervision through the lens of Hawkins and Shohet’s Seven-Eyed Model. Designed for both emerging and experienced supervisors, the course offers a rich blend of theoretical insight, creative practice, and systemic reflection—all within a flexible, interactive digital environment. Participants will deepen their understanding of the relational and systemic dimensions of supervision, while engaging with expressive tools such as metaphor, imagery, movement, and creative mapping to illuminate the seven “eyes” of the model. From exploring parallel process to contextual influences, this course encourages supervisors to think beyond the verbal and embrace supervision as a living, co-created experience.
Working with Self-Harm
This online CPD training is designed exclusively for counsellors seeking to deepen their understanding and therapeutic response to self-harm. Grounded in contemporary theory and ethical best practice, the course explores the nuanced distinctions between self-harm and suicidal ideation, introduces the Pain Offset Relief Theory, and examines the continuum of self-injurious behaviours through a trauma-informed lens.
Participants will engage with reflective and experiential learning to enhance their clinical insight into the emotional functions of self-harm, including regulation, communication, and coping. Emphasis is placed on working ethically and safely—covering risk assessment, safeguarding, and maintaining therapeutic boundaries in online settings.
The webinar also supports counsellors in cultivating compassion for clients while developing strategies to protect their own wellbeing. Through discussions on vicarious trauma, compassion fatigue, and burnout, practitioners will be equipped with tools for sustainable, resilient practice.
This webinar offers a safe, supportive space for counsellors to explore complex client presentations, refine their therapeutic stance, and strengthen their capacity for attuned, ethical care.
Working with the Inner Child – Attachment Informed Perspectives
This experiential webinar bridges the gap between theory and practice, offering a rich blend of psychological insight, creative techniques, and trauma-informed strategies to support clients in reconnecting with and healing their wounded inner child.
Participants will explore how early attachment patterns shape emotional development, learn to identify and work with inner child dynamics in the therapy room, and gain hands-on experience with reparenting techniques, guided imagery, and somatic anchoring. There will also be a discussion of recognising and responding to inner child wounds.
Working with Spirituality and Religion in Counselling
This live online webinar offers counsellors a reflective and practical exploration of how religion and spirituality intersect with therapeutic work. Recognising spirituality as a fundamental dimension of human experience, the session invites practitioners to deepen their understanding of how faith—whether organised or personal—can serve as both a source of resilience and a site of harm.
Participants will explore the role of religion in promoting wellbeing, meaning-making, and community connection, while also addressing the complexities of spiritual abuse, religious trauma, and coercive belief systems. The webinar will examine how counsellors’ own spiritual frameworks and countertransference may shape the therapeutic relationship, and how to navigate these dynamics with ethical sensitivity and cultural humility.
Through case examples, discussion, and experiential exercises, attendees will be introduced to tools and interventions for working with clients’ spiritual narratives. Emphasis will be placed on creating inclusive, non-pathologising spaces where clients can explore their beliefs safely—whether rooted in faith, doubt, or secular spirituality.
Transformational Chairwork
This experiential online webinar introduces counsellors to the dynamic world of Transformational Chairwork, a powerful therapeutic method rooted in psychodrama and Gestalt traditions. Drawing on the pioneering work of Jacob Moreno and Fritz Perls, participants will explore how chair-based dialogues can bring internal conflicts, unresolved emotions, and fragmented parts of the self into vivid, embodied awareness.
The session will clarify the distinction between the empty chair technique—used to address unresolved issues with others—and the two-chair approach, which facilitates internal dialogues between conflicting parts of the self. Through the lens of Gestalt therapy, participants will learn how to work with polarities, such as vulnerability vs. control or critic vs. nurturer, using movement, metaphor, and creative expression to deepen insight and integration.
Emphasis will be placed on the use of metaphor and imaginative methods to access non-verbal material, as well as on the therapist’s role in pacing, attunement, and ethical containment. Whether working with trauma, grief, inner critic dynamics, or identity exploration, this webinar offers a vibrant toolkit for counsellors seeking to expand their practice with embodied, relational, and creative interventions.
An Introduction to Gestalt
This live online webinar offers counsellors a dynamic and experiential introduction to Gestalt counselling, a relational and process-oriented approach grounded in awareness, presence, and the here-and-now. Guided by experienced Gestalt practitioners, participants will explore the foundational principles and practices that make Gestalt a powerful modality for personal and professional transformation.
The session will introduce key concepts such as figure and ground, zones of awareness (inner, outer, and middle), and the cycle of experience, offering insight into how contact is made, interrupted, and restored in the therapeutic relationship. Participants will examine modifications to contact—including deflection, introjection, and projection—and explore the layers of neurosis as pathways to deeper authenticity.
Through creative exercises and reflective dialogue, the webinar will also explore polarities, the self as a process, and the dialogic relationship—emphasising the co-created, mutual presence between counsellor and client. The learning environment is intentionally experiential, inviting participants to engage with theory through embodied practice, personal reflection, and group interaction.
Whether you’re new to Gestalt or seeking to refresh your understanding, this webinar provides a vibrant entry point into a counselling approach that honours the whole person and the unfolding moment.
Using the Therapeutic Relationship in Counselling (The Clarkson Five Relationship Model)
Research shows that the therapeutic relationship is one of the significant aspects which makes therapy effective. It is therefore important to be able to think about how we use the therapeutic relationship intentionally for therapeutic benefit. This live online webinar offers counsellors a practical and reflective introduction to Petruska Clarkson’s Five Relationship Framework, as a tool for healing. Whether working psychodynamically, humanistically, or integratively, this framework provides a flexible structure for tailoring therapy to each client’s unique relational needs.
Participants will explore the five relational modalities—working alliance, transference/countertransference, developmentally-needed, person-to-person, and transpersonal—and learn how to recognise, navigate, and intentionally engage with each mode in clinical practice. The session will highlight how these relational dimensions can be used to integrate diverse counselling theories, offering a cohesive and client-responsive approach.
Through case examples, experiential reflection, and facilitated discussion, attendees will deepen their capacity to use the therapeutic relationship not just as a backdrop, but as an active, evolving process that supports emotional repair, insight, and transformation. This webinar is ideal for counsellors seeking to enhance their relational depth, integrate theory with practice, and work more intentionally with the therapeutic alliance as a dynamic and healing force.
Working with Shame
This live online webinar offers counsellors a nuanced and compassionate exploration of shame—one of the most complex and often misunderstood emotions in therapeutic work. Drawing on the contributions of Helen Block Lewis, Jane Tangney, Thomas Scheff, and Brené Brown, the session will present a range of theoretical models that illuminate shame’s interpersonal, intrapsychic, and social dimensions.
Participants will learn to recognise the subtle and overt ways shame manifests in the therapy room—through body language, silence, perfectionism, or withdrawal—and how to respond with attunement and care. Rather than viewing shame as purely destructive, the webinar reframes it as a vital signal of disconnection and unmet relational needs, offering pathways toward healing and integration.
The session will explore how to help clients separate their sense of self from their actions, develop self-compassion, and maintain self-worth in the face of shame-based narratives. Practical strategies will include language that disarms shame, embodied techniques for grounding, and relational approaches that foster safety and dignity.
This webinar is ideal for counsellors seeking to deepen their confidence in working with shame, while also reflecting on their own responses and vulnerabilities. Emphasis will be placed on ethical, trauma-informed practice and the therapist’s role in co-creating a space where shame can be met—not avoided—with empathy, curiosity, and respect.
Setting up your Private Practice
This live online webinar is designed to support counsellors in confidently establishing and sustaining a successful private practice. Whether you’re newly qualified or transitioning from agency work, this session offers a grounded, step-by-step guide to the key considerations of going solo—without losing sight of your values or therapeutic integrity.
Participants will explore how to craft a compelling and authentic bio for directories and advertising platforms, set appropriate and ethical fees, and choose between working from home, hired premises, or online. The session will also cover essential legal and financial planning—including insurance, tax registration, GDPR compliance, and record-keeping—ensuring your practice is built on a secure foundation.
With a focus on identifying your specialisms and ideal client base, the webinar will guide you through effective advertising strategies, from building a web presence to networking and referrals. Real-world examples and reflective prompts will help you align your business model with your therapeutic identity, while avoiding common pitfalls.
This webinar is ideal for counsellors who want to move from uncertainty to clarity, and from planning to practice—with confidence, professionalism, and purpose.
Working with Trauma
This live online webinar offers counsellors a rich, integrative introduction to working with trauma, blending contemporary neuroscience with relational and attachment-informed practice. Participants will explore the many faces of trauma—from “small t” developmental wounds to “big T” traumatic events—and gain clarity on how trauma impacts the brain, body, and relational world.
The session will define trauma through multiple lenses, including attachment trauma, and introduce the Window of Tolerance as a foundational tool for understanding dysregulation. Participants will examine the four trauma responses—fight, flight, freeze, and fawn—and how these manifest in the therapy room. The neuropsychology of trauma will be brought to life through accessible models, including Dan Siegel’s Hand Model of the Brain, offering practical insight into how trauma disrupts integration and how neuroplasticity supports healing.
Drawing on Carolyn Spring’s metaphor for Judith Herman’s Three Phase Model, the webinar will outline a safe, phased approach to trauma work—stabilisation, processing, and integration—emphasising pacing, containment, and ethical attunement. The session will also highlight the importance of counsellor self-care, exploring strategies to prevent vicarious trauma, compassion fatigue, and burnout.
Through case examples, reflective prompts, and experiential learning, this webinar equips counsellors with a trauma-informed lens that is both grounded in science and rooted in compassion.
Working Creatively with Nesting Dolls in Counselling
This experiential online webinar invites counsellors into the symbolic and transformative world of nesting dolls as a creative tool for therapeutic exploration. Drawing on metaphor, embodiment, and dialogic practice, participants will discover how these tactile objects can gently reveal the layered complexity of the self—offering clients a visual and kinaesthetic way to explore identity, emotion, and relational dynamics.
The session will explore how nesting dolls can be used to access implicit parts of the self, including wounded inner child aspects, protective personas, and hidden emotional states. Through guided demonstrations and reflective exercises, participants will learn how to facilitate dialogues between parts, using the dolls to externalise internal conflict, foster integration, and deepen self-awareness.
Themes will include working with shame, grief, anger, and attachment wounds, as well as using dolls to map family systems, timelines, and developmental stages. The webinar will also offer practical guidance on introducing creative methods safely and ethically—especially in online settings—and how to adapt the use of dolls for different client presentations, including trauma, neurodiversity, and dissociation.
Whether you’re new to creative methods or looking to expand your expressive toolkit, this session offers a playful yet profound approach to working with the inner world—one layer at a time.
Understanding Narcissism in Counselling
This live online webinar offers counsellors a psychodynamically informed exploration of narcissism through the lens of Object Relations theory. Grounded in the work of theorists such as Melanie Klein, Otto Kernberg, and Heinz Kohut, the session will examine how early relational deficits—particularly in the formative caregiver-child bond—contribute to the development of narcissistic traits as protective adaptations.
Participants will learn to distinguish between grandiose and vulnerable narcissism, exploring how each presents in the therapeutic space and how both stem from unmet developmental needs for mirroring, attunement, and secure attachment. The webinar will highlight how narcissistic defences—such as idealisation, devaluation, and projection—can be understood as attempts to manage shame, fragmentation, and relational threat.
Through case examples and reflective dialogue, the session will explore how the therapeutic relationship itself becomes a reparative space. Emphasis will be placed on working relationally with narcissistic presentations using attunement, empathy, and congruence—balancing containment with gentle confrontation to support emotional growth and integration.
This webinar is ideal for counsellors seeking to deepen their understanding of narcissism beyond diagnostic labels, and to develop confidence in working with complex relational dynamics through a compassionate, developmentally informed lens.
