The effect of the pandemic on the level of self-harm has yet to be established, however recent years have seen steep increases in rates reported, particularly among children and young people. For the practitioner, self-harm can be difficult to understand and emotionally draining. This one-day training is designed for counsellors and trainee counsellors working with children and young people under the age of 25, who seek a clear route to understanding and greater confidence when working with this highly emotive issue.

Nearly a quarter of young adults (24.1%) experienced sexual abuse (including contact and non-contact) by an adult or peer during childhood (NSPCC 2011). Our society often doesn’t acknowledge this and survivors can often be left without support, which can lead to anxiety, depression and low self-esteem.
This seminar will provide a foundation in understanding the core issues around sexual abuse and how we can effectively support those who have suffered abuse.

A training event for counsellors focusing on grief arising particularly through the time of Covid-19 restrictions, which can deny the usual and natural impulses, ways of being there and responding to the needs of a loved one during hospitalisation, critical illness and subsequent loss. For some this may result in patterns of delayed, inhibited bereavement and patterns of complicated grief.
