CPD & Reflective Practice Group
CPD & Reflective Practice Group with Andy Williams TSTA (P)
What is the group?
Welcome to this invigorating supervision and CPD group. This set of CPD mornings are aimed at practitioners who are at post-diploma and beyond in experience. The group will work across all modalities for counsellors, psychotherapists and supervisors – but with a Humanistic and Transactional Analysis focus. Meeting on the 1st Friday of the month, the day runs from 9.30am – 1.30pm with a break for lunch.
Content and timetable
As faciliator, Andy will bring a one hour topic for discussion or training to each session, as something to stimulate the group. Attendees are invited to add to the menu at the start of each day. The typical content of the day might include:
- Support from colleagues
- Supervision issues
- Theory Revision – especially Transactional Analysis
- Ethical discussions
- Identity as a practitioner
- Any CPD or Reflective Practice item
A typical morning may look like this:
- 9.30 – 10.00 Check-In and Agenda Setting
- 10.00 – 11.00 An update on OCD by Andy Williams
- 11.00 – 12.00 Group-driven agenda – supervision
- 12.00 – 12.30 Sandwich Lunch – bring your own
- 12.30 – 1.30 Group-driven agenda - discussion
Which adds up to 1 hour taught material each session, 3 hours of open space for the group to decide its own agenda and a half hour break – for which attendees bring own lunch.
