Edwina Hawkridge Counselling in Stamford, and City of London

Training Courses by Counsellors for Counsellors

 

 

Thrive CPD offers an interesting and varied programme of CPD for counsellors and therapists, by two experienced trainers. When we are looking for CPD, we really want the in person experience. So we make no apologies for offering only in person training ourselves. Our CPD offers value for money and an enjoyable group experience, where you come away with skills to apply back in the room with clients.

Supervision

I believe that strong and effective supervision comes from providing a supportive space for counsellors, therapists and trainees. My certification as a supervisor came from the National Counselling Society and I had to demonstrate my ability to understand the concepts of supervision, reflect on these and implement them in practice. The relational depth and environment that I provide helps my supervisees to grow and develop their skills whilst exploring client work.

Feedback from a supervisee: ‘Thank you for making it such an enjoyable experience giving us the space to share our thoughts about each others cases, imparting your knowledge and providing guidance. – A.K 2022.



I work collaboratively with supervisees so that they can get the most from supervision. If this is something you are interested in experiencing please do get in touch.
