* NEW CREATIVE WORKSHOP FOR THERAPISTS *

Deepening our Understanding of Client Work through Storytelling & Improv

Saturday 11th April 9:30am-4pm
New Road Psychotherapy (73 Church Road, Hove)
Early bird price £110 until 1st March

Looking for a playful way to boost your confidence and ease anxiety when working with the uncertainties of therapeutic exploration?

Clients often come to therapy with resistance, coping strategies, or other ways of thinking and being that might feel limiting or restricting. As practitioners, offering space for the emergence of new perspectives and possibilities requires us to remain open and innovative ourselves - yet this can be challenging to do whilst holding the complexity of a client's experience.

Combining the power of storytelling with the freedom and spontaneity of improv techniques and games, this interactive workshop will help you embrace your own creativity in order to better support your clients.

Facilitated by experienced counsellor and trainer Aileen McCormack, the session will provide an informative, relaxed and experiential opportunity for learning and self-exploration. It is suitable for both qualified and trainee therapists, and no previous experience of improv is necessary - just a willingness to experiment and collaborate.

Registration now open via the link below - book your spot before 1st March to benefit from the early bird discount!

Have you spotted any snowdrops yet this year? The annual re-emergence of these delicate flowers offers one of the first signs that spring is stirring, reminding us to reconnect with our own sense of life, hope, and potential for growth.

As much as this process of reaching upwards and outwards can be exciting and energising, it can also feel vulnerable or overwhelming to venture into the open after a 'winter' period hidden away in the dark.

Revealing the first tender green 'shoots' of change - moving through a life transition, sharing something painful, or even asking for help - can feel vulnerable and overwhelming. Like the snowdrop, we need to feel nourished by our surroundings and supported by strong roots in order to flourish.

We hope this is what New Road Psychotherapy can be for you: a safe and nurturing environment in which to explore yourself and any challenges you may be facing, so that you can rise into a new season with clarity, confidence and compassion.

Book an initial consultation via the link below and we'll match you with one of our therapists as soon as we can.

We look forward to helping you emerge and grow!

Winter can be a season of cosy evenings, slower rhythms, and quiet moments of restoration after a busy year - but it can also be a time when mental health struggles feel more tender.

Shorter days and reduced sunlight can lower energy and mood. Colder weather and darker days can make us feel more isolated. The pressure to “be joyful” during the holiday season can amplify stress, grief, or loneliness. For all these reasons and more, this time of year can bring old patterns or emotions closer to the surface.

If winter feels heavy for you, you don't have to carry that burden alone. At New Road Psychotherapy, we’re here to help you navigate whatever this season brings. Therapeutic support can offer space to reflect, share and process your experiences so that you can navigate this time feeling more connected to yourself and others.

We look forward to walking through winter with you 🤍

NEW CPD WORKSHOP FOR THERAPISTS & TRAINEES

'Beyond Denial: Working with Client Self-Deception'
Tuesday 24th March, 6-8pm
Connexus Institute (5 The Drive, Hove)

Led by Patrick Brook, CTA (P), TSTA (P), this workshop is designed for therapists, counsellors, and mental health practitioners who wish to deepen their understanding of how clients (and we ourselves) unconsciously minimise, ignore, or distort reality as a psychological defence.

The session will explore:

🔵 The process of 'discounting' as an unconscious defence mechanism that blocks the processing of difficult experiences.

🟠 The four levels of discounting, from ignoring stimuli entirely to minimising the significance or solvability of problems.

🔵 Practical frameworks for recognising when clients (and ourselves) are stuck in patterns of self-deception.

🟠 How to distinguish between healthy selective attention and problematic discounting that keeps people trapped.

Tickets cost just £10 - book your place or find out more here:

Are you a trainee or qualified counsellor or psychotherapist with personal experience of cancer diagnosis and treatment? Could you spare some time to help with a postgraduate research project?

As part of her Psychotherapy MSc , Dr Charlotte Rustin is researching how the existential-phenomenological constructs that play a key role in counselling and psychotherapy training impact practitioners' own experiences of cancer and inform their professional work.

Dr Rustin's interest in this research stems from her own diagnosis and treatment for Stage 2 breast cancer whilst training to be a counsellor, during which time she felt that how she was experiencing the process of diagnosis, treatment and recovery felt intrinsically linked to, shaped and supported by the learning associated with the existential-phenomenological paradigm.

Whilst there is already research into the impact of cancer on individuals, research exploring the nature of counsellor’s/psychotherapist’s experience of cancer is limited. This study therefore aims to explore how a pre-existing understanding of existential-phenomenological constructs may interact with a counsellor/psychotherapist’s own experience of cancer.

You can view the participant information sheet here: https://storage2.me-qr.com/pdf/5343ca66-f5e7-4e21-89a6-b81ce8f6dcaf.pdf?time=1749813245

And the consent form can be found here:https://storage2.me-qr.com/pdf/b821b0af-3b66-4c63-871b-937a493a9507.pdf
