UPCOMING CPD WORKSHOPS

  • Relational Healing for the Borderline Personality with Dr Ruth Birkebaek

    Saturday 1st November
    10am-1pm
    Online via Zoom

    Please note! This event has now changed in format and is now a half-day ONLINE event

    For many psychotherapists and counsellors, borderline clients present a professional challenge because of their frequent relational conflicts, varying developmental levels of transference, and their polarisation of emotions, such as idealisation and hate, elation and despair, anger and dependency.

    In this workshop, Dr Birkebaek will make use of a developmentally-based, relationally- focused Integrative Psychotherapy to explain the intra psychic process of clients who suffer from early Affect Confusion and attachment disruptions.

    NVC for Therapists with Cath Burke

    Saturday 11th January
    10am-1pm
    Terapia N3

    A practical workshop for navigating real-life conflict with connection and confidence

    Conflict - whether internal or within relationships - is a common experience and a frequent focus in therapy.

    This workshop offers therapists an experiential way to deepen their skills using Nonviolent Communication (NVC) to support themselves and their clients in moments of tension, disconnection, or disagreement.

    By the end of this workshop, you’ll gain practical experience and a process you can bring into therapeutic work to help generate calm, confidence, and connection in difficult interactions.

Continuing Professional Development for Counsellors and Psychotherapists

Our varied range of CPD workshops are held either in-person in North London, or online via Zoom. Currently all of our meetings are on Sundays.

Our CPD workshops are welcoming social occasions. We know counselling and psychotherapy can be a lonely profession, and most trainings are either online or in a room with strangers.

ACPNL events aim to combine professional development with the opportunity to meet colleagues in person, build connections and friendships in the pleasant surroundings of our venues.

Workshops cost £25 for members, and £35 for non-members for 3 hours.

All are welcome. To book your place visit our Eventbrite page.

Testimonials from our CPD workshops

  • I was moved by people's openness and willingness to share their personal experiences.

  • Was a very useful and thought provoking workshop providing information and understanding of Neurodiversity and ADHD. I valued Leo's honesty when sharing his story and personal difficulties.

  • Very interesting, inclusive and well presented.

  • Good to hear Leo’s personal journey.

  • Relevant and insightful.

  • This is a topic that is currently widely debated and society’s attitudes to it are in a state of change. Our personal attitudes to it are extremely relevant, l think, to understanding and managing our family and social relationships ( not to mention our relationships with ourselves).

  • I always find the ACPNL workshops - originating, as they do, with a focus on client/therapist relationships and the intention of enriching professional understandings, add a lot to my thinking generally. I thought that Leo’s account of his personal growth and insights over recent years, movingly and effectively made the link between personal and professional and offered a lot of food for thought.

  • I appreciated Christiane's wealth of knowledge and experience and also her down-to-earth approach. There was enough material for a couple of workshops. The material was put across in a way that I easily understood and retained.

  • The speaker was excellent. She covered so much in just 3hrs. Attending this workshop would be most beneficial for anyone working with abused clients. Thank you ACPNL for offering this excellent workshop.

  • It was amazing! Maybe it was even too short, considering the nature of the topic. Reasonable price, a fantastic deliverer, and good timing. I enjoyed having the reading beforehand.
