About this event
Embarking on a counselling or psychotherapy course is often driven by a passion for helping others rather than a love for academic work. Navigating these courses can be particularly challenging, especially for those with neurodivergence. This series of five sessions aims to provide trauma-informed study support, helping students identify and overcome blocks to their studies over the course of the academic year.
Session Overview
Each of the sessions will include:
– Exploring blocks to studying through a trauma informed perspective
– Practical activities and reflections using basic Brainspotting (BSP) and Breathwork techniques
– Tips to enhance study efficiency and enjoyment
– The opportunity to share experiences and tips
– In the last session the opportunity to share ideas to shape the future of psychotherapy and counselling courses (attended by John Wilson).
