Windz Centre

The Windz Centre offers innovative and leading edge training in brief, narrative and collaborative therapies.

The Windz Centre is the home of Brief & Narrative Therapy Training and Research. As the home of brief and narrative therapy training, education, research and community outreach, our service philosophy is non-pathologizing and client-centred, focusing on what is strong in people, rather than what is wrong in people. Our Certificate Programs, Workshops and Off Site Training are based on innovative knowledge and practice-based research. Our workshops, certificate programs and conferences reflect collaborative, strength oriented ideas and practices that address current service gaps and social issues. The Brief & Narrative therapeutic approach is highly effective in walk-in clinics, single session therapy, brief services, longer-term environments, or any service that aims to provide people the help they need, when they need it.

Dive into the world of narrative therapy with our Brief & Narrative Therapy Certificate Program!

Conducted by Karen Young, this 5-day training program offers a comprehensive understanding of narrative therapy's core ideas and practices.

Narrative therapy is a powerful tool, promoting social justice and focusing on individual competencies. It allows us to create impactful and meaningful conversations, making the most out of every session.

This course offers you 30 hours of in-depth exploration into the foundations and practices of Narrative Therapy, equipping you with:

✔️Theoretical knowledge including postmodernism and feminism to ensure socially just practice.
✔️Skills to craft effective questions and listen with a 'multi-story' approach.
✔️Techniques to help clients view their problems from new perspectives.
✔️Strategies to respond to crisis situations, trauma, and suicidal thoughts.
✔️Ways to create constructive session endings and practice "one-session-at-a-time therapy".

This program provides insights that can be directly applied to your everyday therapeutic practice. Whether you work in brief settings like walk-in clinics or in long-term therapy, these tools will empower your work.

With session recordings, transcripts, and practice exercises, you'll gain hands-on experience and end the program with a Certificate of Completion for 30 hours of training.
