Inter-Psyche

Inter-Psyche is the Kent and Medway NHS and Social Care Partnership Trust Centre for Counselling and Psychotherapy Studies.

For the last six years I have been a tutor on the Diploma Course. It's an integrative course involving a wide spectrum of models with the Therapeutic Relationship at its core.

There's a Certificate Course - thought of as Year 1 and a Diploma Course - thought of as Years 2 and 3; although everyone one who gains a diploma has not necessarily been at Inter-Psyche for all three years.

The course is accredited by the BACP and for the last few years, I have taken groups through the two years of the Diploma. The work involves teaching theory, running personal development groups facilitating a class processing group and taking care of the pastoral needs of the students.

Transactional Analysis
Over the years I have run a number of introductory courses on TA to such people as aromatherapists, teachers and various interested groups.

Accreditation
In the last couple of years, there has been a demand for small groups to meet - usually once a month for six months - to guide qualified counsellors through the accreditation process for the BACP.

Counselling Skills
I have taught counselling skills, either in one-off workshops or in bespoke training packages to various groups of people including teachers, lecturers, Samaritans, Victim Support and residents held at Her Majesty's Pleasure.
