Developing therapeutic presence in the online space

Presented by Nigel Polak

21 July 2020

The link between therapeutic presence, the client’s experience of the therapeutic relationship and therapeutic effectiveness are now well established.

This interactive webinar will support practitioners who have transitioned to the provision of online therapy, many having been forced to do so due to Covid-19 social distancing restrictions, to deepen their therapeutic presence while using audio and video technologies.

Common misconceptions will be identified, and simple but effective strategies will be offered for participants to immediately implement in their own practice.
