Imagery techniques applied to ourselves as therapists Summary What is the workshop about? This workshop will cover the the role of imagery in maintaining psychological distress and the use of visualisation-based techniques in therapeutic practice. There will be practical demonstrations and the opportunity to apply key techniques to therapists ourselves. Who should attend? This workshop is aimed at therapists, counsellors, advisers, educationalists, health care workers, social workers and students in these areas. It is particularly useful for counsellors who do not normally work within a cognitive or behavioural model but want to explore tried and tested techniques. Similarly, counsellors and therapists working within this tradition are likely to find this workshop a useful refresher in the latest approaches. It is also suitable for anyone with an interest in contemporary practice in this area. What have previous delegates said about this workshop? Particularly interesting to apply visualisation techniques to ourselves as therapists. Excellent . Very interesting .Thank you . I am newly qualified and though I have used imagery before, my experience is not that broad, so this was very helpful to understand how useful it can be across different disorders and also for me as a therapist. Excellent pacing, very resourceful and easy to understand. Lots of practical ideas to use for practice. Thank you! I loved this workshop, it was informative and give me more ideas as to how to use imagery. I feel more confident about using imagery in my role Informative, good ideas Engaging, well paced and informative. I'm a qualified CBT therapist and found this really increased my knowledge giving particular skills and ways of delivering. Very enjoyable and informative. I got new ideas for use of visualisation work with clients and also for my own self reflection. Thank you! This was a very informative workshop. I will use it in my practice I found it great, and I have used visualisation in a small way but feel I can approach with more confidence.

Do you use video as a tool to promote your charity, business, organisation or campaigns? And if you don’t, do you feel as if you ought to? Videos account for more than 80% of all consumer internet traffic. So the pressure to use video as a marketing and PR tool has increased enormously. But the cost can be prohibitive. Using a video production company, such as ours, might be ideal, but for many it is out of reach – particularly if, like many of our clients, you’re a charity. However, there is an alternative, which more and more organisations are choosing, especially those which need to produce regular digital content. That is to produce the video yourself. Nowadays, you do not even need to invest in a video camera. All you need is your smart phone, some simple equipment you can buy on Amazon for as little as £80, plus your laptop or PC. This is why we have developed a new smartphone video training course, Smart Video. Our smartphone video training course covers: Equipment – including setting up your phone, microphones, tripods and editing programmes Planning your video Techniques to give your films broadcast-quality polish Getting the perfect shot – including shot sizes, positioning the camera, framing, lighting, sound, sequences and backgrounds Filming interviews An introduction to editing Producing videos for social media Bespoke training The course can be tailored to the type of videos you need to make. If most of your videos will be interviews, we’ll focus on presenting your interviewee in the best possible light – literally. If, on the other hand, you need to film buildings, events or products, we’ll tailor the course accordingly. If your video needs a script, we’ll give you tips and techniques on how to “write to pictures”, so your messages comes across well. And on all our courses, we’ll give you a guide to the best equipment and apps to use to enhance your filming and editing. The smartphone video course will be led by Paul Curran who has many years experience producing, filming and editing films and videos, for the BBC and corporate clients.
