This workshop is an ideal opportunity for an introduction to Michael’s work, and specifically how he approaches the integration of the paradigm clash between the humanistic and psychodynamic traditions. It is an affordable workshop on a crucial topic, as many integrative therapists struggle to integrate these paradigms rather than oscillate between them, both in [...]

Solutions to the 2-chair technique's recurring pitfalls Anticipating the recurrent pitfalls of the 2-chair technique and making therapeutic and transformational use of them When it comes to shifting the focus of therapeutic interaction from 'talking about' to 'exploring the experience', there are few techniques more useful than 'empty-chair' or 'two-chair' work (this applies to supervision [...]

This training day is oriented towards using the richness and diversity of a cross-modality group of therapists to enhance each other’s practice and learning - we will use the different approaches represented in the group as resources and perspectives on our own work. We will do this by helping each other focus on the relationship [...]

In a first session we do not yet have a shared understanding nor an agreed therapeutic frame. It is one of the main tasks of a first session to develop such a frame, but not [...]
