Live online training comprising three sessions (two half days and one full day).
A significant portion of the workshop comprises experiential learning. You are invited to experience for yourself a number of creative therapeutic techniques for working on issues of loss, transition and change, including stories, art, writing and salt sculptures (a craft activity).
Practical skills are developed through a range of learning methods, including interactive activities, comprehensive handouts, clinical tools, didactic presentations, video demonstrations and self-reflection.
Anthony has been delivering this popular workshop for 30 years (with updates). He has facilitated over 80 of these workshops internationally, primarily in the UK.
