CDP WORKSHOP
Shinrin yoku - (forest bathing) Workshops for Mental Health Practitioners
Develop Your Practice. Deepen Your Understanding. Support Better Client Outcomes.
We offer CPD for therapists, counsellors and professionals who want to deepen their knowledge, strengthen their practice and develop a greater understanding of the relationship between the parasympathetic nervous system, emotions and behaviour.
Our CPD is designed to help professionals connect theory with practice — developing knowledge that can inform how they understand, engage with and support their clients. An experiential experience for everyone!
What will you develop?
-
Explore the role of the autonomic nervous system, including the parasympathetic nervous system, and develop a clearer understanding of how physiological states can interact with emotional experiences and behaviour.
-
Recognise what may be happening beneath the presentation.
-
Develop a broader framework for understanding how stress, anxiety, overwhelm and difficulties with regulation may influence how clients think, feel, communicate, behave and engage with therapeutic support.
-
Understand the importance of regulation and safety
-
Explore how experiences of safety, connection and regulation may influence a client’s capacity to engage, reflect, communicate and participate in therapeutic work.
-
Strengthen your therapeutic perspective
-
Develop greater awareness of the relationship between physiological responses, emotional wellbeing and behaviour, supporting a more informed and individualised approach to practice.
-
Translate learning into practice.
-
Consider practical, evidence-informed approaches that can complement your existing therapeutic skills and support clients in developing greater self-awareness and emotional regulation.
Why this matters for clients
Understanding the nervous system can provide practitioners with another lens through which to understand their clients — looking beyond the presenting issue to consider the interaction between body, emotions, thoughts and behaviour.
For clients, this understanding may help create greater awareness of their own responses and experiences, while supporting therapeutic work around emotional regulation, connection, safety and behavioural change.
For professionals, it offers an opportunity to reflect on existing practice, develop new perspectives and build confidence in responding to clients whose emotional and behavioural responses may be influenced by stress and nervous-system dysregulation.
CPD That Translates Into Practice
"Our CPD is designed to be supportive, reflective, engaging and practically relevant.
We want professionals to leave with more than knowledge. We aim to provide learning that encourages reflection, expands clinical thinking and offers practical insights that can be thoughtfully integrated into professional practice.
Whether you are developing specialist knowledge, refreshing existing skills or exploring new areas of professional interest, our CPD supports you to keep learning, keep reflecting and keep developing your practice."
