Professional Development Groups 2012 - 13





Professional Development Groups: beyond training
and or qualification, are often difficult to find.

These groups based at

The south manchester centre for psychotherapy and

The north wales centre for psychotherapy

aim to help experienced practitioners who have completed their main training in any modality and/or practitioners who have a client case load.


The north wales centre for psychotherapy is based in an outstanding environment - see above - with private lake, indoor heated swimming pool, panormaic views of the Snowdonian Mountain range and 8 acres of outdoor space to enjoy.

The teaching and learning Ethos


At smcp we are committed to the multi-level training ethos. The training to become a Psychotherapist, Supervisor or Trainer has been delivered using different group structures in the past and the multi-level structure has proved to be the most successful at smcp in terms of:

Student satisfaction and

Learning outcomes


Who for?


At smcp Professional Development includes a mix of practitioners:

Beginners

Those who are in the final stages of preparing for qualification

Those who are qualified practitioners who are preparing for supervision accreditation

Those who are looking for ongoing collegial support and mentoring


This structure provides a live dynamic which is vibrant and creates a learning environment where all can optimise learning.


The process will acknowledge the relationship as being at the heart of all effective learning and will be flexible and responsive to individual learning goals as well as being commensurate with the stage of development of the practitioner.
