WHAT WE OFFER…

At Midland Therapy Group we understand the importance of learning and experiencing new things.  We offer a range of short workshops; some are aimed at professionals and others are an opportunity for anyone to experience something new and beneficial to their mental well-being.

These are normally half day workshops with refreshments provided and can be booked through contacting us on our email address. Certificates of attendance will be provided on completion.  More options being added all the time.

Some dates are to be arranged based on interest in the workshop.

What is a casual conversation?

Meet with some of the team over coffee and cake (other options available) and have frank and open discussions about experiences of counsellors and trainees from different backgrounds who are in practice working with a wide range of clients. Different themes will be offered over time, but have a look at what we have planned so far.

Are you worried about what to do if an agency or organisation requests your client notes? What if it is a court order or the police? Are you working in private practice? Are you training to be a counsellor? Are you just interested in the conversation?

From supervising and speaking to counsellors this is an area we know creates concerns and uncertainty, so we are offering one of our informal Casual Conversation evenings to come and chat through our experiences of having had requests for notes from various different sources, from clients through to court orders. We can chat through the experiences, processes and how it feels to be in this position. We take an informal approach and will answer any questions we can and will always be honest about what our experience has been.

Have you been thinking about a change in career? Have you thought about training to be a counsellor? If you have then you may already know that there are many routes to do this and it can be very hard to work out the best one for you.

Are you in the early stages of training (level 2 or 3) and are unsure which route might suit you best, this might be for you.

Come enjoy a couple of hours with coffee and cake and a couple of the team to discuss the routes into the career; you can ask questions and hear about real life experiences.

We are not affiliated with any training provider and will not offer recommendations on which courses are better, however we can talk about your options and share real life experiences. We take an informal approach and will answer any questions we can and will always be honest about what a career in counselling can offer you.

This is what most trainee’s tell us they wish they had access to before they started training, so get in touch and book your place now!
