Weekly Schedule
Diversity Discussion Group is where we acknowledge the diverse identities present in the room – both therapists and clients. It’s a space where we reflect on how different aspects of who we are impact the therapeutic journey. We discuss how our backgrounds, cultures, and experiences shape the therapeutic relationship, offering insights into navigating these intersections effectively.
Weekly CPD (Continuing Professional Development) sessions are dedicated to enhancing our skills in therapeutic interventions across a spectrum of presenting issues. We learn how to work with common presentations such as depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and more. Through case studies, and practical exercises, we aim to expand our toolkit of therapeutic techniques, ensuring our readiness to effectively address the diverse needs of our clients.
Counselling Skills Practice involves honing the various techniques and abilities necessary for effective counseling sessions. We will engage in role-plays to practice counseling skills in simulated sessions. After each role-play session, we can share our experiences, observations, and challenges. Feedback and guidance on how to improve counseling skills will be provided.
Process Group is where we process our experience of being on the internship programme. The topics depend on what the group needs and wants to talk about. Being in a process group can help us understand ourselves better, learn how to communicate, and grow as individuals. It is a chance to connect with our peers who might be going through similar experiences.
