We have a few spaces remaining on Michelle Fahy’s upcoming workshop designed specifically for clinical supervisors. The training is on, live online, this coming Friday from 10am – 1pm. If you are a clinical supervisor we would love to have you join us.

Live Online Workshop for Clinical Supervisors

From Drama to Empowerment: Navigating the Drama Triangle in Clinical Supervision

Date: Friday 30th January 2026​

Times: 10am-1pm

Facilitator: Michelle Fahy

Fee: €65

This 3-hour creative, experiential, and interactive workshop, is designed for clinical supervisors seeking to deepen their awareness of the Drama Triangle dynamics. Exploration of the Drama Triangle shines a light on the unconscious intra- and interpersonal processes that can arise in supervision and clinical practice. Through creative activities, self and clinical reflective and open dialogue, participants will explore how to identify these roles and reflect on ways to enable therapists towards more empowered and constructive roles. The workshop aims to equip supervisors to explore ways to authentically engage with these concepts in their supervisory practice, the therapy room and beyond.

We are very excited about a wonderful workshop we have coming up live online next Saturday 17th January. If you work with neurodivergent individuals, then this workshop is a must for you! Please see details below. Spaces are very limited so if you are interested in attending I advise you to book your spot soon.

Neurodivergent individuals are increasingly seeking therapists and professionals who understand and affirm their unique ways of being. This one-day interactive workshop provides both the context and the relational depth needed to cultivate a truly neurodivergent-affirming practice.
Grounded in the neurodiversity paradigm and enriched by both lived and professional insight, the workshop explores how to meet clients in their uniqueness, honour different forms of communication, and attune to sensory and emotional experiences across the lifespan. Participants will leave with a deeper understanding of the neurodiversity movement and greater confidence in offering inclusive, authentic, and empowering therapeutic relationships.

Who Is It For?
This workshop is suitable for:
• Psychologists, psychotherapists, and counsellors
• Social workers and occupational therapists
• Educators and allied professionals
• Anyone seeking to deepen their confidence in neurodivergent-affirming practice

Holding on firmly to the last of the Christmas vibes and games here!! We have had an action packed break celebrating Christmas and Noel’s 70th birthday. We returned home yesterday after a very special family week in a very special venue! Today, I made the executive decision to leave the decorations up and the mountains of laundry and mess untouched until tomorrow. Instead, we are spending the final day of the break enjoying our time together. Tomorrow I will tackle my house so emails and course applications will stay unopened until Tuesday. January is a super busy work month for me, so I will be back with a bang Tuesday!

Best of luck to all returning to normal routines and life this week. Go gently and look after yourself well.

P.S. This “Murdle” game has been a massive hit with children and adults alike here this Christmas, it’s a great one!!

Shopping done, wrapping done, house as ready as it will be….so Mommy’s had an afternoon of fun!! My old time friend and I visited some of our favourite spots in Limerick city and were home on the couch by 8pm - a perfect festive celebration for us. Our Christmas “nights” have change over the past 24 years but we always manage a girlie catch-up at this time of year and I am so glad that we do. My cup is full, my heart is grateful. I hope you can squeeze in some time just for you this festive season too. Siobhán 💫

Christmas is calling!! My out of office is on and I am ready to immerse myself fully in the festivities. Eileen and I have lots of fun family times ahead, all of which we are very grateful for. We are also incredibly grateful for all the support we have received this year. CTC is continuing to grow and thrive, this brings us both so much joy and pride and excitement for all that is yet to come too! As we close off for Christmas we want to say a massive thank you to all those who journey with us and support us in anyway. Merry Christmas one and all, we hope this Christmas season brings you what you want and need. Siobhán & Eileen X

We are currently processing applications for our 2026 Diploma in Creative Supervision. There is a major shortage of creative supervisors available across the country, so we are super excited to deliver this training and have more creative supervisors working in the field. If you want to train as a supervisor next year now is the time to apply.

Yet again,we are delighted to be able to deliver this training with input from international experts in the field:Joan Wilmot,Karen Jesnick, and Maggie Feran are all scheduled to teach modules. As are some of our very experienced staff team-Michelle Fahy, Majella Ryan and Emer McDonagh.

Creative Supervision includes the use of action methods and creative approaches in the supervision of therapists and other professionals involved in direct work with clients of all ages, utilising a variety of theoretical frameworks, and in a variety of circumstances.These strategies also prove useful in the mentoring and consultative roles that are part and parcel of many professional lives. This course focuses on utilising new and innovative approaches utilising the creative arts, lateral thinking, and playful activities in the supervision process. An aim is to facilitate supervisors to connect more fully with supervisees, and facilitate them in fully exploring and finding solutions to dilemmas in client work and in the management of clinical teams. There is a focus on learning to match supervision style and process to supervisee needs, ensuring that the continuum of needs of those with varying degrees of experience are responded to in an integrated manner. Central to this is the use of informed intuition to hypothesise, blended with advanced skills in understanding intrapersonal and interpersonal processes, and knowing when and how to apply diverse approaches.

This course is suitable to therapists adopting a variety of approaches in their work, regardless of the specific core training that they have undertaken. It is an experiential training with a substantial theoretical component and equips trainees to undertake the multiple roles of the supervisor.

A few photos from our absolutely phenomenal training event with Paris Goodyear Brown ! These two days were beyond special. Paris shared herself, her heart, her humour, and of course her truly amazing TraumaPlay model with us all in the most engaging and playful way possible. In addition to Paris’s all round brilliance we were joined by an equally brilliant group of participants. The combination led to an extra special event, one that has filled my heart with joy and gratitude.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and engaged so fully, and thank you to the one and only Paris Goodyear Brown for making this magic event possible. Paris, I am so grateful to have you as a friend and a colleague. And as for our ever growing CTC crew, my gratitude is ever growing for you all too!! I am one very lucky lady! 💖

P.S. Extra magic happened at our CTC Christmas celebration too!! More photos of that to follow. 🥰💫🥳
