I don’t fall into those groups but I’d love some training like this!
This training is open to qualified and trainee counsellors ONLY. Please note that this is a top-up course and alone will not qualify you as a professional registered counsellor.

 
How many places are there?
14 places ONLY
 
This small group experience offers confidentiality and the time to dedicate to each person's learning goals.
 
On large online courses or self paced training it is difficult to get your questions answered, let alone admit if you’re feeling confused or need clarification. I will be there to guide you through the process and share everything I have learned along the way in my experiences working as an email counsellor.
 
 
What’s the format?
Online via zoom.
 
This 2 day workshop is very interactive, suiting a range of learning styles with case studies, scenarios, quizzes, breakout room activities, Q&A in the chat room and a few PowerPoint slides.
 
 
Your ticket fee includes:
Your place on our small group training experience (max 14 people)
Two live interactive group classes (2 days online)
A full colour workbook to aid your further learning
CPD certificate
 
 
There are limited tickets at this price. Get in quick to get your discount.
 
 
What makes this workshop different?
Unfortunately most courses on online counselling focus heavily on video counselling taking up the majority of the focus which leaves email counselling as a short add on. This leaves many counsellors ill prepared to offer email counselling to their clients.
 
Many counsellors have told me that after doing a generic online counselling course they have gotten into choppy waters with trying to offer email counselling to their clients, especially around boundaries and misunderstandings. And of course there are many other counsellors who have learned a bit about email counselling but simply don't have the confidence to offer it to their clients as their online course barely covered it.
 
This is why I have designed this specialist top-up course to give you all the skills you need to learn how to exchange secure, confidential therapeutic emails with your clients.
 
 
 
How accessible is this course?
We will take time to check-in what accessibility needs each individual has so that we aim to create a comfortable learning space together. This will be done by me asking you individually in advance and also by checking together as a group at the beginning of the first training day.
 
I aim to do all I can to help you get the most out of the training and to feel able to ask the questions you might have been too afraid to ask in large groups. This workshop will not be recorded so your confidentiality is protected.
 
There will be breakout room experiences each day to help you get to know your peers as you develop through the exercises. Please note that breakout rooms are optional as I understand not everyone enjoys learning in this way.
 
Having your camera on in zoom will be optional. There will be no pressure to have to show your face or to speak if you don't want to.
 
If you have any questions about accessibility please email me before the course.
