An Introduction to Working with Groups
with
Lorna Marchant live online
Friday 24th January 2025
(10am to 4pm)
If you are a counsellor or supervisor you have probably found yourself either running groups or being asked to run groups. Counsellors who work with children and young people, as well as counselling tutors, are often involved in running groups.
​
Working with groups, whether trainee counsellors, supervisees or support workers in an organisation can leave the facilitator feeling daunted and at times overwhelmed.
​
On this course you will be introduced to different group theories and explore experientially your own experience of being in groups and how this might impact your facilitation of groups.
​
Lorna has been running a wide range of groups for many years, she has studied group theory and written about groups professionally during this time and believes that now, as more counsellors are being required to run groups this will be a timely addition to your CPD portfolio.
​
Numbers are limited to 12 so please get in touch to book your place.

​
The fee is £80 and CPD certificates will be issued at the end of the day.
Early Bird Fee £60 now extended to January 3rd 2025
A previous participant said of the introduction to working with groups workshop:
“I thoroughly enjoyed the Introduction to group work course with Lorna. It was stimulating, fascinating and enlightening. Lorna managed to fit an incredible amount of information into one day and I would thoroughly recommend this course to anyone who has an interest in this type of work.”
