While our short intensive workshops enable people to learn and experience the majority of techniques and approaches we teach, they do not provide continuous feedback, supervision and ongoing skill development.
To become effective at using this considerable range of tools with flexibility and fluency, ongoing supervision is a necessity.
To meet this need, we now offer a 8-month Integrated Mindfulness Therapies (IMT) Programme that can include TIR Accreditation.
This programme should not merely be seen as a route to another accreditation, but also
as an essential part of learning to work with Mindfulness as your core theoretical model. On going supervised practice is the only way to truly
master the many methods and strategies that we teach, whether ACT, MBCT or TIR.
Beyond techniques - important basics such as the ability to remain mindfully present,
even when your client is pressing your buttons, can be further developed
during this programme.
This course consists of individual supervision, detailed case formulation, review of some of the methods or techniques.
During this course, trainees will have the opportunity to focus on their individual
training needs, and address the areas of their practice they most need to improve.
Recorded tapes of consenting external clients will be presented to group supervision.
