Supporting Information

Please Note: This workshop is available exclusively to those who have completed Part 1 of our NHS-recognised Practitioner License in Person-Centred Counselling for Depression (PCE-CfD) training or fully qualified PCE-CfD practitioners*

This experiential workshop explores how the therapeutic relationship, rooted in empathy, congruence and unconditional positive regard, literally reshapes the brain. Drawing on neuroplasticity, polyvagal theory, mirror neurons and the default mode network, we will trace how emotional safety and attunement support integration and healing. Through video insights, felt-sense practices and group reflection, we will link brain science to the lived experience of therapy, deepening our understanding of how PCE-CfD fosters change from the inside out. You can look forward to a rich blend of theory, embodiment and shared curiosity.

Working with clients presenting with trauma in history with Catherine Cox and Kim Murray (PCE-CfD CPD Workshop)

Much has been written about in terms of how relevant the PCE-CfD approach is when working with trauma, due in particular to how the model is client led and a very 'gentle' way of working, with client autonomy being a central tenet. We will be looking at the key principles and practice of working in this way with clients presenting with trauma within the Talking Therapies services.
