Delivering online therapy, or counselling clients on the phone, requires a particular set of skills and brings with it specific considerations. This live online workshop will help you gain confidence in working safely and ethically, examining the advantages, potential drawbacks and adjustments you need to make to work remotely successfully. There will be plenty of time for questions, and helpful discussions with your peers and experienced tutors.
Why take this course
Whether you are a new practitioner wanting to develop your online practice, or an experienced therapist who has decided to start offering services online or on the phone, this course will help you gain the skills and understanding you need to do so safely and effectively. Unlike other online courses, this practical live online CPD training gives you the opportunity to ask our experienced tutors questions about any aspects that concern you, as well as learning from their case histories about what has worked – and what hasn’t – for them.
Covering essential areas such as managing client expectations, setting up a therapeutic online environment, risk management, and the use and adaptation of various skills and techniques for online or telephone work, this course gives you the essential information you need to deliver therapeutic interventions remotely.
Both Jo Baker and Ros Townsend, the course tutors, have extensive experience of working with clients online, with Ros now running her entire therapy practice remotely. Jo works using a blended approach (combining face-to-face counselling and online psychotherapy), and both bring a wealth of practical tips, hands on experience and real-life examples to the training.
During the day, there will be ample opportunity to discuss and share ideas with both tutors and peers, and to enter into both structured and more free-ranging discussions about both the benefits and potential difficulties that one might encounter when working therapeutically through remote mediums.
