An Introduction to CBT
28th January, 10.00-4.30, £70
Facilitator: Andy Williams PTSTA UKCP
This workshop is designed to equip the practitioner with some early CBT tools for immediate application into practice. By the end of the day you won’t be a CBT therapist but you will be armed with some new CBT techniques. We will not be spending a lot of time looking at the history of CBT, rather exploring some key treatment concepts and then applying them to clinical examples brought by the group. The learning outcomes for the day include understanding a CBT formulation in the here-and-now (cross-sectional), across time (longitudinal) and some key cognitive and behavioural treatment techniques.

This workshop is designed as a starting point for those who wish to build their confidence in working with transgender clients.

The workshop will move on to consider some of the legal aspects of working with transgender clients and then offer an ethical framework in which to hold the work. By the end of the day, participants should have an increased confidence in assessment and intervention with the transgendered.

Risk Assessment and Suicide
Defendable not Defensive Practice
31st March, 10.00-4.30, £70
Facilitator: Andy Williams PTSTA UKCP
For many therapists the thought of one of their clients killing themselves is a terrible or frightening concept. Having worked for many years in both NHS and private practice Andy Williams has experienced deaths and near misses associated with both these settings. This workshop was first presented at the North East Regional TA Conference at York and is aimed to support the professional in getting their systems and processes in place, in order to give clients the best possible support and to offer the practitioner a sense of safety and holding (we matter too!). This intensive workshop will consider differing ways of assessing risk and conceptualization of the suicidal act. Some video material will also be presented.

This intensive workshop will aim to give participants an understanding of addictive behaviour and an opportunity to learn and begin to use Prochaska & DiClemente's Cycle of Change, a transtheoretical, staged model, which provides an overview of the process of making a life-style change. Interventions for each stage will be considered. The model and interventions will be considered in terms of TA, and it is recommended that participants have undertaken the minimum of a 'TA 101'.
