MASTER CLASS

'A practical-based introduction to existential therapy'

Regardless of the model adopted or the approach employed, current research indicates that the one consistently reliable variable impacting upon the beneficial outcome of therapeutic interventions is the relationship itself.  This course will equip participants with an applied theoretical understanding of the major inter-relational qualities and skills to developing and maintaining an effective therapeutic relationship as utilised by and derived from existential psychotherapy.  This unique focus upon the interpersonal qualities will be of value to all practitioners, regardless of their specialist model or approach and will serve to deepen participants’ professional understanding and awareness of key factors arising in any therapeutic relationship.

 

This one day Masterclass provides participants with the unique opportunity to develop their understanding of and ability to practise existential psychotherapy as presented by one of the foremost teachers in and practitioners of the approach.

    Participants will learn through lecture, discussion, experiential exercises, and exploration of case material that they bring

    to the Masterclass.
