Working somatically with trauma in therapeutic practice
A one-day introduction to working somatically with trauma in therapeutic practice. The workshop explores how trauma is experienced and expressed through the body, and how therapists can work with nervous system responses, body sensations, movement, and regulation in a safe and effective way. The workshop will include teaching, discussion, a live demonstration, and experiential exercises designed to support understanding and application in clinical practice. Suitable for counsellors, psychotherapists, and trainees interested in integrating somatic awareness into their work.
Beloved and Entrusted - Christian Trauma Training
You are warmly invited to a safe, compassionate space designed to honour your journey and explore how God is on a mission to bring healing and restoration.
Integrating Christian faith and counselling/psychotherapy
Research shows that for some clients, the integration of their faith in therapy is important to them. Over the years, there has been resistance by some within the counselling profession to any notion of the concept of integrating Christian faith/religion/spirituality with the practice of counselling/psychotherapy. Whilst in recent times, it appears the profession has become more open to this, nevertheless, many practitioners in the counselling world remain uncomfortable and/or unsure as to how to address issues of Christian faith/religion/spirituality in clinical practice. The avoidance and/or discomfort can be due to a lack of knowledge and understanding and this programme therefore aims to provide attendees with a firm foundation and framework as to how to ethically, professionally, and competently integrate Christian faith/religion/spirituality into their personal philosophy and practice of counselling/psychotherapy.
