Talks and Workshops
For the past two decades, part of my work has been in the area of conference presentations and workshops for training organisations and regional associations of therapeutic practitioners. This work reflects my commitment to communicating a therapeutic approach that is grounded in analytic theory and at the same time collaborative and compassionate. Forthcoming events and a selection of earlier events are listed below. Please feel free to browse and contact me if a topic is of particular interest to your organisation.
Since 2009 I have also contributed to seminar programmes organised by Confer, a major provider of high quality CPD for psychotherapists and psychologists. In 2012 I was invited to join the Advisory Board of Confer and in spring 2015, I curated and chaired a programme of Confer seminars revolving around the theme of narrative in psychotherapy.
Later in the year I will be chairing ‘meet the author’ reading groups, with Graham Music and Ernesto Spinelli booked as our first invited authors. www.confer.uk.com
