Working with abuse can be some of the hardest areas we can work with. It’s all about the timing and the pace, being able to hold the client with a gentle touch without pushing them further than they choose to go. We can get so interested in the subject matter we can lose the sight of the Client, they’re journey can become more interesting or harrowing and maybe we cannot walk with them. When do we know we have stepped outside of our comfort and competency, when do we refer and who to? One of the main awareness we can give our Clients is that they are believed, and it isn’t they’re fault. Thank you for joining me in understanding the dynamics at play in this work, and real tools to help them process the abuse and bring some closure on the past.
Course Content
Presenter
I have over 9500 hours of face to face work with clients and I am an accomplished presenter, teacher, and trainer. I use my knowledge and experience to present my training courses, bringing to life the subjects I teach using case presentations and real life experiences to put theory and practice learning in an easy and simple way.
I run a truly free resource website (www.seekingchange.co.uk) which is updated monthly with new ways to help people to understand the human dynamic. It gives people an understanding of the work I do, the awareness I gain through my work, and the tools and interventions that I use in my work with Clients.
I also have a website (www.intuitivetherapy.co.uk) which explores the intuitive therapeutic interventions that all of us have but mostly are not aware of. This awareness helps us to use transference and counter transference within a therapeutic encounter. Building trust and working alliances easier and more connected.
I also have a counselling and therapy practice which offers therapeutic and mental health interventions from myself and other professionals in Wakefield, details which can be found at ‘Ian and Sue Wallace Counselling’ (www.counsellingwakefield.co.uk).
