The eight-day course in counselling children has received ACC Approval status. This means that once you’ve completed the training days, a couple of pieces of writing and some practice you will receive a recognised Postgraduate Certificate in Therapy with Children and Families.
Roger and Christine Day write:
After a successful event this month, we’re excited to tell you about another chance to learn some creative skills that can be used for working with children. On Friday 9 and Saturday 10 March 2012 we are running a hands-on programme of training activities in working with children using sandtray, movement, music and sensory awareness. This two-day unit is complete in itself and participants will receive a CPD attendance certificate at the end of it. It is also one of the four units needed to gain the Postgraduate Certificate in Counselling Children and Families, which carries ACC Approval status. By the end of this event you will have a basic idea about how to work with children using a range of skills. You will also be clearer on whether you have what it takes to work with children and families.
The event is for people who have completed or are currently completing a diploma in counselling adults. It costs just £90 for the two days. If you would like to attend this exciting new event phone the hosts: The Magdalene Project, Bacup, Lancashire, on 01706 870 939 or 07854 752 902. We hope to see you in beautiful Lancashire.

Helping Families Heal
Monday 21 May 2012
Led by Andre Radmall
For details of training and events at CWR Waverley follow this link.
This eighteen day course offers unique tools and skills to enable practising therapists or counsellors to work quickly, competently, thoroughly, confidently and compassionately - without taking clients through details of traumatic experiences. The PICT Childhood Abuse Training manual includes handouts for clients and has every exercise scripted for ease of use.
The PICT Childhood Abuse Training is accredited through the National Council of Psychotherapists (NCP). The nine module course will contain 117 CPD hours. The additional optional PICT QC module is 13 hours.
A PICT Certification document will be given upon successful completion of the nine module course with the title PICT Practitioner. A PICT QC Certification document is given upon successful completion of the PICT QC module, plus QC will be added to their title. Successful students will be invited to be listed on The Penny Parks Foundation website [£25.00 per year]. Successful students will also qualify to apply for membership to the National Council of Psychotherapists (NCP). NCP membership is normally secured after an exhaustive process. However, because of the high standard of PICT training, successful students (upon application) will qualify to apply for licentiate membership of the NCP and, if successful, be entitled to use the NCP logo on any literature.
Group numbers are limited due to the high experiential content of the course. Most courses will be held in the Trainer’s locality, although some Trainers are willing to travel to teach courses to groups in their own locality (see PICT Trainers). The course is offered in 9, two day, modules held once a month (week days or weekends). One year later, having met the clinical practice criteria, students can add further skills contained in PICT Quick Change - Module Ten (two days). Module hours are 9.30 for 10am start – 5.30pm with an hour for lunch and two breaks.

PODS workshop, led by Carolyn and Rob Spring, exploring why so many trauma survivors suffer from numerous physical issues eg chronic pain and chronic fatigue syndrome, or a difficulty in connecting with the body at all.

JULY 2012 - a 5 day course with Richard Winter, studying the relationship between theology, psychology and counselling to be held in Cambridge.
By studying the relationship between theology, psychology and counselling, 'A Biblical Approach to Counselling' will build a framework for Christian counselling. Designed for anyone who would like to develop understanding, discernment and practical application in caring and counselling, the course will explore issues of grief and depression, anger and forgiveness, anxiety and fear, perfectionism, homosexuality, shame and addictions. Theory and practice will be held hand in hand throughout, developing skills in listening, reflecting, paraphrasing, asking good questions and facilitating change.
Richard Winter is Professor of Practical Theology at Covenant Theological Seminary in St Louis, Missouri. Professor Winter teaches pastoral counselling to Master of Divinity students and prepares students to become Licensed Professional Counsellors. He is the author of ‘The Roots of Sorrow’ (Crossway, 1988), ‘Still Bored in a Culture of Entertainment’ (IVP, 2002) and ‘Perfecting Ourselves to Death’ (IVP, 2005).
Before moving to America, Richard Winter served as director of the English L’Abri Fellowship for 14 years. His successor at the L’Abri Fellowship, Andrew Fellows, describes Richard as possessing ‘a wealth of experience in counselling, both as a practitioner and as a teacher; all undergirded by a passion for theology and worldview thinking.’ Fellows adds, ‘I cannot recommend this course too highly.’

29 September 2012 in Huntingdon, Cambs.
Sexual abuse, according to research, affects 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 6 boys. That equates to about 10 million people in the UK who are survivors of sexual abuse. A report by the Church of England said that 80% of churchgoing women will go to someone in church for help rather than a counsellor or other professional.
There has been a welcome increase in recent years in the availability of training around child protection issues in churches. But there is very little information and training available on how to respond well to adult survivors of child sexual abuse. This training day looks to plug that gap. On this ‘Helping to Heal’ training day we will look at some basic information, to lay a foundation, such as:
And then we’ll look in more detail at how churches can respond well. We will look at abuse, and we will look at healing – and we’ll see how we can move from one to the other in a way that restores dignity and freedom back to survivors.
People who might benefit from coming on the day would include:
The training day will be run at our base in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire on 29 September 2012.
