About this event

Thinking in Conversation; New Year, New Peer: Navigating the Struggles of Finding Peer Support Workshop with Keemar Keemar & John Wilson

Building a strong network of supportive colleagues can be both rewarding and challenging. Finding the right people to share your experiences and ideas, offer and receive guidance, and provide mutual encouragement isn’t always easy, yet meaningful professional connections can transform the way we work and grow.

 

Join Keemar Keemar and John Wilson for a thoughtful and practical exploration of:

  • The challenges and rewards of building a professional support network
  • The obstacles to finding the right colleagues
  • The importance of trust, shared values, and constructive feedback in collaboration
  • How to create and sustain meaningful professional relationships

 

Whether you’re seeking peer support, mentoring, or simply a sense of community, this workshop will help you reflect on your journey and gain insights into building the connections that matter.

Keemar Keemar

I have 30 years experience as a psychotherapist in private practise, 20 years working as a tutor and Director of a Psychotherapy Training Institute, 11 years as a senior counsellor for NHS staff and 8 years in University Student Counselling.

 

I often work with people who find therapy daunting or even think it could be impossible. Often in responsible roles, maybe creating change in their environment, yet unable to effect satisfying or profound changes in themselves and their own lives.

 

My job is to see what blocks and inhibits you. The process of us being together offers opportunity for new ways to think and live.

 

I offer Counselling & Psychotherapy both long and short term and I work face to face in Sheffield and online for people across the UK.

 

For 20 years I have been providing Supervision & Reflective Practise for other professionals including counsellors and psychotherapist, NHS staff, School Leaders, Business and Executive Coaches and anyone wanting to explore, expand and take care of themselves personally and professionally.

John Wilson

I am a co-founder and Director at Onlinevents, dedicated to democratising learning in the helping professions. We host the world’s first and largest video learning library akin to “Netflix” for these professions. Additionally, I serve as a Director at Temenos Education and lead the Counselling & Psychotherapy Programme. Our focus is on nurturing students to become their most potent selves, both personally and professionally.

 

With over 20 years of experience, I currently manage a private practice as a Psychotherapist and Supervisor, offering services through video, text chat, and virtual environments. I also facilitate groups and am involved in the Going Global and La Jolla programmes, rooted in Carl Rogers’ Encounter Group movement.

 

I am a past Chair and now an Honorary Fellow at the Association for Counselling & Therapy Online (ACTO). I have served on the board of the World Association for Person Centered & Experiential Psychotherapy & Counselling for 6 years.
