Attachment theory into the future: A workshop with Sir Richard Bowlby

Our inaugural event was held on Friday 22nd February 2013 at Cheshire Conferences and Events at Edgeley Part Stadium, Stockport.  Eighty three delegates attended and It was universally judged to be a great success.

We have now had time to evaluate the feedback and overall, on a scale of 0-5, delegates gave the event a mark of over 4.5 (for those with a quantitative bent x̄ = 4.57, s = .61, N=43).  A number of the delegates were so impressed that they immediately booked up for future events.

Sir Richard enjoyed the day and has agreed to come back next year – especially after discovering that Sockport is only two hours from Euston!

Jonathan and I have been encouraged and inspired by the experience and we will continue our quest to bring the best CPD and training to the North West.  Ernesto Spinelli and Mick Cooper are already booked and we are running smaller events on reflective supervision, trauma and ethics and the law.

We have added some additional material to the event page and we will keep this available for some time, in case anyone wishes to consult it.  It can be accessed through the Events / Past Events entry in the main menu.

Mindsite forums

Mindsite forums is a new facility that we have added to the website. It allows visitors to the site to comment on events and to interact with other delegates – before, during and after the event. It is a trial and, we hope that visitors to the site will make use of the facility to explore some of the deeper issues. We will also try to persuade presenters to visit!

Mindsite forums can be accessed by clicking here or by selecting ‘Forums’ from the main menu.

Counselling, Psychotherapy, Ethics and the Law – 13th September 2013

Counselling, psychotherapy, ethics and the law brings together two very different and often conflicting worlds. Yet counsellors and psychotherapists are subject to a wide range of ethical and legal dilemmas.

This most recent addition to our programme for 2013 seeks to explore these conflicting worlds in a small, interactive group environment.

The workshop leader, Peter Jenkins, is an acknowledged expert and published author on the subject. Formerly a member of the BACP Professional Conduct Committee, he is currently a member of the UKCP Ethics Committee.  He is a Senior Lecturer in Counselling at The University of Manchester and an experienced trainer.

This is a valuable opportunity for practitioners, service managers and supervisors to learn about this important subject in the relaxed environment of the Sapphire suite at Cheshire Conferences and Events at Edgeley Park Stadium, Stockport.

The sessions will consist of a series of scenarios that will be investigated and discussed within the group.

For further information click here.

The cost is £75 per delegate and numbers will be limited to 30.

5 hours CPD.  A signed certificate of attendance will be provided.
