Want to get more Creative?

Are you in a position where you would like to know how to be more creative within your counselling practice but don't know how to go about it? Maybe you want to be able to offer something more, but don't feel you have the skills or basic knowledge to do this. Or perhaps you're simply feeling stuck using the same techniques and approaches over and over again, and want to consider a different way of thinking about things.

If you recognise any of the above, then the Introducing Creativity to Therapeutic Practice is the training for you.

Having been on his own journey of embracing creative approaches into his own practice, Adam has written and designed this training to be informative for practitioners working with both adults and young people alike.

This course has been delivered by Adam face to face in both NHS and private sector and has now been adapted for The Counselling Academy to support practitioners to start embracing creative and new skills which can be easily integrated into exciting practice and clinical knowledge base.

The course is spread across 5 modules which includes theory, practice examples, video demonstrations of some of the practical skills and techniques as well as access to a safe and secure Facebook group to share knowledge, ask questions and continue developing and collaborating with other like minded practitioners.

This course has been awarded 9 CPD hrs.
