Therapeutic Change: Developing a Practice Framework

Overview

Counselling and psychotherapy are fundamentally about the process of human change. In recent years, research has provided a clearer understanding of key change principles. Establishing a trusting relationship, identifying a clearer sense of self and self-direction, increased insight and awareness, and reality testing are some of these important keys. In this online short course, Dr O’Hara synthesises research and clinical evidence and outlines what engenders and supports the human change process. There are five sections in this course each with video presentations, reflective questions, and readings. This professional development opportunity is suitable for mental health practitioners and helping professionals interested in expanding their own practice framework.  On completion of the course a CPD certificate will be available.
