Are you wondering how this could be achieved by incorporating active therapeutic modes principally clay and movement?

This PTUK accredited advanced level practitioner certificate is gained by attending the series of six workshops (42 hours). These one day workshops are offered over a two year period through 2019 and 2020

Object-relations and Jungian theoretical aspects underpin this series of creative experiential days helping practitioners to apply enhanced insights. We all carry unconsciously the memories of our first relationships. If things went well for us then we develop an understanding of relationships that are always fraught with insecurity, jealousy and hatred alongside those better responses of love, loyalty and attachment. If things went less well for us we are beset with difficulties and often feel less able to cope with the cross-currents of life. The first workshop helps us to look at our internal navigation systems. This helps with locating where we are in our adult relationships, including those in the therapy room

The trainers are Dr. Lynne Souter-Anderson and Chris Wise, MA, who have sixteen years’ experience of co-delivering training where a facilitating female and male couple provide an invigorating and thought-provoking presence.
