Relational Change Online Gathering 2023

• The Times They Are A-Changing: How We Navigate Transitions and Contexts

  December 14th 2023, Online via Zoom. Cost £40

  Many of us are experiencing a strong sense that our world is changing; that all the touchstones and totems that we have used to navigate our personal and professional lives have shifted and become unreliable. This raises some key questions as to how we transition these changing contexts. What can we use to guide us? How do we define our identities? How do we set boundaries and defend our sense of what is right and ethical?

  During this day we will explore these questions together and journey along our timelines from the present moment, to the past and into the future.

  The day will include an Introduction to the event followed by three rounds of dialogue and personal inquiry in small groups.

  Experience of offering the RC Gatherings as low-cost, community CPD events, tells us that lasting professional bonds and firm friendships are created during the days. Many participants continue to meet years after the events. Whether you are a Clinician, counsellor, psychotherapist, OD Consultant, Coach, Manager or Leader, you are very welcome!

Post Graduate Certificate/Diploma in Supervision 2024: A Relational Change Process

Commencing January 2024, Kingston Upon Thames and ONLINE via Zoom. We are intending to run this as a hybrid course with two modules on-line and two face-to-face (three for those taking the Diploma). Please contact Lynda Osborne if you would like to discuss this.

Supervision is a requirement for counsellors, psychotherapists as well as coaches and many others in the helping professions. Whether working clinically or in a coaching setting with clients, it is not unusual for practitioners to experience relational and practice difficulties. This translates into the need for a supervisor who can offer new models and a fresh perspective as well as supporting competent practice. Our approach to supervision practice is deeply relational. On this 10 day course over 9 months, we will consider the relationships between the self of the client, the therapist/coach and the supervisor, their specific contexts, and the wider field, based upon our new matrix model of a relational approach to supervision and supervisory practice. You can download the BGJ paper by Chidiac, Denham-Vaughan and Osborne The Relational Matrix Model of Supervision, which is also available on the Resources Page. This is what previous students have said about the course:
