The therapist as human by Louisa Grundy and Sam Elderfield

The Therapist as Human presented by Louisa Grundy and Sam Elderfield.
Most of the work we do as counsellors and psychotherapists is thinking about, reading about, and researching about clients and what is going on for them. But clients don’t exist on their own in the room – they are in a relationship with us. There are two people in the room both with their own lived experiences, both with things in their lives that may be affecting them.
This webinar will look at the therapeutic relationship from the therapist’s perspective and look at how we can be affected by our clients and by our own lives. We need to ensure that as therapists we are fit to practice and that we take care of ourselves. It’s important for ourselves as much as it is for our clients that we are aware of how the world around us is affecting us both in terms of what is going on in our own lives and in the world.
This webinar will help us pause and reflect on our lives and those of our clients and the world at large to see what is affecting us and what we can do about it.
