Yes, you can do it. Take the 7-day challenge. Alternatively, consider hypnotherapy. Evidence shows hypnosis is far and away the most effective technique of all for stopping smoking and quitting for good - as summarised in New Scientistin 2010 (Lynn, Green, Accardi, & Cleere). Especially when it is carried out with an element of counselling. That is the therapy part of the word hypnotherapy, and why Richard talks about hypnotherapy for stopping smoking and not just hypnosis to quit. Take away a seven-step guide to quitting and, more importantly, the commitment to quit. During the session you will have the opportunity to: Explore why we find it difficult to quit Learn the seven key steps that can help you quit on your own Discover why some people prefer hypnotherapy

– the practical skills you need Discover how to combine key new insights into the causes and symptoms of depression with a range of powerful psychological techniques to make treatment easier and more consistently effective … Accredited CPD Certificate : 6 hours Length 1 day (9.30am - 4.00pm) Practical, inspiring and full of hopeDR GINA JOHNSON, GP Why take this course Until recently depression was little understood but key new insights into its causes and symptoms have made treatment easier and more consistently effective. On this day you will learn how combining these insights with a wide range of different psychological techniques enables the majority of cases to be lifted surprisingly quickly … even severe ones. Although antidepressants can play a role in reducing symptoms, they can also be dangerous and prove hard to withdraw from – research shows that appropriate counselling is more effective at lifting even the most severe depression, with a much lower rate of relapse. The approach you will learn on this workshop is in this category and is proving very effective – 10,000s of people have already been successfully helped with the knowledge and skills you will learn on the day. I feel much more confident in my understanding of the process of depression and how to target it with helpful interventionsDANIEL COOPER What will you learn New insights into why depressed people wake up tired and unmotivated, and what to do about it Information about the links between inflammation and depression Clear, practical steps for lifting even severe depression Demonstrations of the skills that quickly break the cycle of depression, move people on and prevent relapse A profound understanding of why these work and are a big improvement on drug therapy Practice sessions in using these proven skills and techniques yourself What to do if you suspect someone may be feeling suicidal How to establish what’s not working in a person’s life and why, using a case history Techniques for tackling rigid thinking, negative expectancy and the pessimistic rumination that causes depression How to work with your clients to find effective ways they can get their innate emotional needs met well and in balance A range of additional useful tips and strategies that you can easily incorporate into your work The opportunity to watch a film of master therapist Joe Griffin working quickly and successfully with a highly depressed patient You will also have plenty of time to ask questions of the tutor, who is also a practising therapist herself… Everyone, not just the caring professions, should do this day.GENERAL PRACTITIONER Who is this course suitable for?

This additional training session gives us more time to look at how neurodiversity can impact relationships In most cases, applying the skills and techniques learned in the Couples Therapy Online Masterclass is all that’s needed to help a couple move forward in their relationship. Sometimes though, some extra focused knowledge of the challenges within specific types of relationship can help a therapist assess more quickly and meaningfully the relationship dynamic, allowing them to more effectively help the couple find a constructive and compassionate way forward. Why take this course Neurodiversity has been given significant media attention recently, which is all hugely positive. As a result though, more people are seeking out information and answers for their questions and personal experiences. As part of that process, they may well seek some counselling or therapy. It’s important then that, as therapists or counsellors, our knowledge, skillset, language and stories stay as up-to-date and relevant as possible to best serve our clients. In this session, we take time to clarify what’s most helpful and identify practical steps that can help. Jennifer's knowledge and experience shone through What will you learn Debunking the myths about neurodiversity – and replacing them instead with newer, more positive and inclusive research-based thinking The value (or not) of a diagnosis – and the possibility of mis-diagnosis The challenges when one or both partners are neurodiverse The most effective tools to support a re-steer back to respect and compatibility What to look out for with right- and left-brain-orientated neurodiversity How best to get mutual emotional needs met when two partners have different priorities, awareness and emotional expectations Having a neuro-divergent child – and how that can impact a relationship (positively and otherwise) Managing expectations – around the speed of change, and the consistency of more-respectful and kinder behaviours after therapy is complete Strategies that could work well with a neuro-divergent partner – and when might we have to get more creative A therapist’s next steps – when they suspect one or both of a couple is neurodivergent. And much more… You will also have the opportunity to ask Jennifer questions and benefit from the discussions resulting from those asked by others. Who is this course suitable for? Anyone working with couples, perhaps as a relationship counsellor or couples therapist, who would like further insights and ideas for helping couples when one or more is neurodivergent Anyone who has previously attended our Couples masterclass 1-day workshop (live or in person) If you already work with couples in your salaried work or private practice and you want to develop more insight into the different ways neurodivergence can impact couples specifically, and relationships generally, then this online training is for you. Please Note This course is not a substitute for therapy. This course has been independently accredited by the internationally recognised CPD Standards Office for 4 hours of CPD training. On completion of this training you’ll receive CPD certificates from the College and the CPD Standards Office.

But thankfully it is possible to help most addicts transform their lives – often in only a few sessions – as you will discover on this practical day which draws together, from various schools of solution-focused therapy, the most effective and proven techniques for treating addictions (including motivational interviewing and self compassion techniques) with essential neuroscientific insights into the addictive process to create powerful interventions. You will leave the day with renewed confidence knowing how it is possible to help most people with addictions, enabling them to transform their lives, often in a small number of sessions. The skills covered are essential to have (along with guided imagery) if you wish to improve your effectiveness when helping people quit any addiction, including: alcohol addiction, smoking, gambling addiction, shopping, social media addiction, sex, substance abuse, self-harm and eating disorders. Please note You will leave this workshop with essential information and a variety of skills that you can implement straight away. However, the key concepts and most effective ways of treating addictions, which you will see demonstrated and explained, incorporate guided imagery skills. We therefore recommend, if you aren’t proficient in these already, that you attend the Guided imagery and visualisation for therapeutic change workshop (either before or after this one). The counter-conditioning technique that you will see demonstrated and explained on ‘Stopping Addictions’, is taught in detail and practiced by workshop participants on Guided Imagery Day 2: additional techniques. ‘Stopping Addictions’ complements our online course Tackling Addiction and what you will learn on it will also be very useful if you support or work with people who self-harm.

Essential skills for successfully treating a wide range of conditions – such as trauma, addictions, anxiety and depression – as well as making long-lasting behaviour changes and much more… Accredited CPD Certificate : 6 hours Length 1 day (9.30am - 4.00pm) This has been a priceless experience. Life-changing. Brilliant, simply brilliant!COUNSELLOR / EX IT SERVICE MANAGER Why take this course Strong emotions focus and lock attention – keeping people trapped in problem behaviours. Therapeutic change cannot happen until the emotional arousal is reduced. This is why all health and welfare professionals need to know how to induce the relaxation response in their clients. Guided imagery and visualisation not only reduce emotional arousal quickly but can be used to reframe life circumstances through metaphor and to rehearse in the imagination any required changed behaviours and/or feelings, which dramatically increases the likelihood of those changes taking place in ‘real life’. If you want to be able to help people effectively, this is a key course to attend – guided imagery is an essential skill required for removing phobias, curing PTSD, lifting depression and overcoming addictions or self-harm, and is also useful for raising self-confidence and increasing motivation. When you become confident in using these skills, you can begin to bring patients out of the emotionally-driven trance states of a wide range of conditions such as anxiety disorders, addiction, anger, stress overload, trauma, depression, chronic pain and much more. That is why guided imagery is one of the most powerful psychotherapeutic tools available to us – and one you need in your ‘toolkit’. Fascinating way of working with clients – relaxation techniques very powerful. Extremely relevant to practice. Good techniques and strategies learnt to use with clients to help them problem solve and move forward.HEALTH VISITOR What will you learn Powerful new ways to improve treatment outcomes Training and practice in using one of the most effective psycho- therapeutic tools available for treating a wide range of emotional and physical conditions Invaluable ways to motivate people, reframe life circumstances and instigate changes in behaviour Insight into how the mind/body communication system works Greater confidence when working with a wide variety of conditions Supervised practise in generating healing trances The core skills you need to acquire for the rewind technique for treating PTSD and phobias A variety of ways to help people relax Ways to reduce pain, including in childbirth Increased understanding of trance states and their role in everyday life Effective skills for helping people improve their performance – sports, public speaking etc. The opportunity to experience relaxation, guided imagery and visualisation yourself A scientifically-sound knowledge of why the various techniques and skills you will gain are so valuable And much more Good to know The skills you will learn on this course are an essential pre-requisite for taking the The Rewind Technique – Effective treatment for trauma (PTSD) and phobias course.

Additional specialist online training for anyone working with couples or helping with relationship issues… Accredited CPD: 4 hours Length: 8.45am–1.00pm (GMT) Live training delivered online – Join Jennifer Broadley on Tuesday 9th July 24 for another jam-packed session live online via Zoom. You will have plenty of opportunities to ask questions. Simply book your place and we will send you email confirmation – your Zoom link will be sent the day before the event.

Can’t make this date, then please register your interest and we’ll let you know as soon as another date is available. This additional online training session gives us time to look in more depth at narcissism and what a relationship with a narcissist might look like In most cases, applying the skills and techniques learned in the Couples Therapy Online Masterclass is all that’s needed to help a couple move forward in their relationship. But sometimes additional knowledge is needed, as in the case of relationships where narcissism is a suspected factor, to help a therapist assess more quickly and meaningfully the relationship dynamic and specific challenges involved, thus allowing them to help the couple more effectively to find a constructive and compassionate way forward and out of their current difficulties. Why take this course The term ‘narcissist’ is often bandied about and narcissism is frequently covered in the media – but is this language over-used or misused? It’s great that awareness is being raised generally about narcissism and the impacts it can have on a relationship, but it’s important to be well informed. As a result of this increased awareness, more people are seeking information and answers to their own experiences, as well as about the causes of their own relationship difficulties and what they can do about them. As part of that process they may well seek some counselling or therapy so it’s important that, as therapists, our knowledge, skillset and stories are as up-to-date and relevant as possible to best serve our clients. If you already work with couples, in your private practice or employed role, and you want some more detailed insight into narcissism and how to spot it, as well as some of the additional relationship challenges it brings, this live online training is for you.. Jennifer gave a very informative response to my specific request for information relating to narcissismPAULINE, THERAPIST ATTENDING JENNIFER'S 'COUPLES THERAPY' COURSE What will you learn What is a narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) – and what are the criteria for clinical diagnosis What specific unkind or manipulative behaviours in relationships can be classed as narcissism – and when should we really not use that term Why the reports of narcissistic emotional abuse in relationships are significantly on the increase – and how (or whether) this parallels family, relationship and societal changes If it’s not narcissism, what else could be causing the dysfunctional relationship pattern? The truths and myths of the nature vs nurture debate in relation to NPD How to spot narcissism when both partners are in your therapy room How to spot NPD when only one partner is in your therapy room Why it’s usually the co-dependant partner, rather than the one with narcissistic personality traits, that instigates therapy How to support an abused partner to exit a narcissistic relationship – OR to remain in it if he/she won’t or can’t leave How to identify which needs are not being met for one or both partners of a couple – and strategies to quickly change that Tools and checklists to keep your clients emotionally and physically safe as you support a rise in their self-esteem, self-compassion and emotional needs being met more healthily The common language (media and social media) for NPD-related behaviours How to raise children (separately or together) when one parent has NPD – the critical Do’s and Don’ts Additional resources to steer your clients towards – plus recommended reading for you as a therapist And more… You will also have plenty of opportunities to ask questions and benefit from those asked by other people. Who is this course suitable for? Anyone who has previously attended our Couples masterclass 1-day workshop (live or in person). Anyone working with couples, perhaps as a relationship counsellor or through couples therapy, who would like a better understanding of narcissism and NPD, and ideas for helping couples deal with the challenges these bring.
