Expert Series in Domestic Abuse Counsellor Training
For those who have some experience of domestic abuse counselling work already, we offer
separate, stand-alone modules of topics that are likely to be of interest to practitioners working in this area. These courses are given by people who research and/or teach in the area and can be seen as experts in their field. The list of current programmes is given below. Workshops are a full day. Please click on the title of the course to find a more detailed synopsis, dates and prices, or book now to find a full list of currently available courses.
June 1-day Workshop
Domestic abuse results in an individual being wrongly judged and accused reducing their self-esteem and self-confidence, often doubting themselves. The trauma associated with incidents often leaves levels of high anxiety and traumatic stress responses. A compassionate approach has been shown to be very effective in working with domestic abuse as well as in protecting counsellors from the negative impact of hearing abusive experiences. In this 1-day workshop Dr Elaine Beaumont, a leading author in compassion and kindness based interventions, shares the theory and practical strategies for supporting self-compassion in your counselling work. The next workshop will be held on Thursday, 6th June 2024 from 9.30am to 4.30pm. The cost of the workshop is £120 and it is now open for booking.
Developmental Impact of Childhood Trauma (1-day workshop - date to be confirmed)
Domestic abuse is known to be harmful to children, known as an ‘Adverse Childhood Experience’. The impact on a child’s development psychologically and physically can be significant. Understanding these effects can be helpful in working with adults who have had traumatic experiences in the home. The session includes sand-tray work.
Led by Dr Celeste Foster and Leigh Gardner. The next session will be held in summer 2024. To hear more about the course from Leigh and Celeste, listen to their video on our Meet the Trainer channel below recorded for the last session!
