SUMMARY:The Deep Release Counsellors Together Weekend
DESCRIPTION:A weekend of practical exploration\, creative reflection and thoughtful conversation about the work we do.Together we’ll make space to be curious\, playful and reflective – supporting both ourselves and the clients we work with.\n \nThis is still our annual conference\, but this year we’re approaching it a bit differently! \nAcross the weekend\, through a variety of workshops\, we’ll explore four spaces that are essential to our work – creativity\, staying steady\, refining our skills\, and being human in the sticky bits. \nTaken together\, these offer a way to engage with key areas of our work and give ourselves a personal and professional MOT – with gentleness\, compassion\, humour\, hope and community. \nThe weekend takes place in a lovely village setting with riverside walks nearby. There will be time to relax\, enjoy the surroundings and connect with others – whether over a coffee or drink in the lounge bar or on a peaceful walk by the river. \n\nWhat you’ll take away\nOver the course of the weekend you can expect to gain: \n\nFresh insight into your own practice\nCreative tools and ideas you can use with clients\nSpace to reflect on your wellbeing and sustainability in the work\nEncouragement and connection with other counsellors\nThoughtful exploration of some of the trickier parts of practice\nRenewed steadiness\, curiosity and hope\n\n\nThe Four Spaces\n1. Creativity – Seeing with Fresh Eyes\nA space for creative exploration\, approaching familiar themes from a different angle and allowing room for experimentation. Not everything needs to be polished\, and we want to offer a safe space to try a range of creative tools. Sometimes we learn most when we’re willing to play. \n\n2. Staying Steady – Keeping the Flame Alive\nAn honest reflection on sustaining ourselves in the work — capacity\, boundaries\, our own rhythms and what helps us remain in practice over time. \nWe’ll also consider the realities of practice: burnout\, what drains us\, the long stretches of therapy where little seems to change\, and the subtle ways we can begin to erase ourselves in the work. \nThere will be space to share honestly and encourage one another as we explore these themes gently and creatively. \n\n3. Skills – Fine Tuning What We Do\nHere we’ll look at how we can creatively enhance the relational and practical skills that deepen good therapeutic work. \nWithin this space we will also come together for a Nesting Dolls session\, using this image to explore the different layers within ourselves and within the clients we work with\, and how these shape the work we do together. \n\n4. Being Human – Staying With the Sticky Bits\nThis is the space for what doesn’t resolve neatly — the client issues that linger and the tensions that don’t quite tidy themselves up. \nHere we’ll practise staying present with complexity\, noticing what is stirred in us\, and exploring these moments together without pressure to perform or produce quick answers. Creativity will help us reflect on these experiences together. \n\nWe’d love you to join us. \nOpen to all counsellors and trainee counsellors (studying at diploma level). \nCost Includes: \n\nAll training\nTwo nights’ en suite accommodation. Bedrooms are small\, but have everything you need for a comfortable stay. Rooms are en suite with rainfall shower\, 4′ 6″ Double bed\, Iron\, Hairdryer\, Complimentary WiFi\, 32″ TV and Tea and coffee making facilities\nAll meals from dinner on Friday through to Sunday lunch\nCPD certificate included (15 hours)\n\n  \nBursaries: We want the conference to be accessible to anyone who would benefit from attending.
