Step Into the Dance: A Warm, Experiential Weekend of TA & Gestalt
This full board residential weekend will include lively creative workshops, opportunities for networking and making new friends with other counsellors, great food, and a comfortable en-suite bedroom all to yourself.
Two of the most practical, relational approaches, woven together for real therapeutic impact
Join us for a friendly, energising weekend where Transactional Analysis and Gestalt come together in a beautifully integrated, deeply human way. Perfect for counsellors and therapists who want to enrich their practice with approaches that bring clarity, presence, creativity, and confidence.
Today’s training will describe and demonstrate 5 different ways of using artwork to help clients get in touch with their emotions and explore different situations.
Using picture cards
Using symbols
Working with parts of self
Using Fairy Tales
A guided visualisation
Participants will follow Pauline’s guidance to create their own artwork, sharing in small groups, and maybe with the bigger group, witnessing the variety of different reactions there can be to simple interventions. The training will also include how to introduce interventions, and how/whether to work with a highly resistant client, and those who plead, “I can’t draw!”.
Today’s training offers some new interventions for working with the Inner Child. You will be invited to explore how these might work in the counselling room by experiencing the activities for yourselves, sharing in small groups and perhaps in the larger group.
