New workshop – The power of stories: taking a narrative approach

Our next workshop takes place on 13th April and will explore narrative approaches in counselling. Narrative approaches co-create stories of hope and liberate people from the residue of unhelpful experiences. It takes the position that we all live our lives in a series of connected stories that join together to create some dominant themes that shape our lives. Sometimes the dominant themes are unhelpful and hold people back from creating better potential futures for themselves. Narrative approaches explore the power of stories and seek to invite clients to re-author their lives and bring forth alternative version of stories that are more life giving and enhancing.

The workshop will be led by Dr Barbara McKay, a social worker, systemic psychotherapist, supervisor and trainer, who has held positions in both statutory and voluntary sector organisations. The session is free to Cogwheel Counsellors, £30 for Cogwheel alumni, and £60 for all other participants.

More information about the workshop and booking details are available here.
