SUMMARY:Compassion-Focused approaches for Educational Psychologist practice - a 3 day CPD workshop (Sep\, Oct\, Nov)
DESCRIPTION:This is a 3-day CPD online event\, hosted by Dr. Jo Taylor from Constellations Psychology. Dates: 24.09.26\, 22.10.26\, 19.11.26 \nDuring this 3-day event\, we will cover: \n– Using Compassion Focused Approaches in EP practice.\n– Using CFT models to unpick emotions in supervision.\n– Noticing and facilitating the flow of compassion in 1-1 and group supervision.\n– Fears\, blocks and resistances to compassion\n– Using tools to help EPs connect with and cultivate their “compassionate psychologist”\n– Sustaining compassionate practice over time. \nThis event may be for you if you want to: \n– Introduce Compassion Focused Approaches into your daily EP work or EPS systems.\n– Develop your skills for talking about suffering and distress.\n– Broaden your options for helping people understand the flow of compassion in their context.\n– Practice using tools & approaches with other EPs.\n– Have time to apply learning in between training sessions and share progress with the group. \nLinks to the Experts at Hand (EAH) role: \nDay 1:\n– Understanding the EP role through the lens of compassion (supporting EPs to navigate the\nuncertainty of the EAH changes and providing models and tools for unpicking difficulties in planning meetings and when commissioning traded work).\n– Introducing tools for EPs to use in consultation (developing capacity to work in a systemic way\, in accordance with DfE guidance around EAH). \nDay 2:\n– Tools and approaches to refresh the EPS’ capacity for providing reflective spaces to schools (as EAH emphasizes systemic approaches and the importance of inclusion in mainstream\, reflective\nspaces become even more important in schools).\n– Models and practise for the EPS to use in its own supervision processes (Cultivate the ongoing professional development of EPs to help them evolve with the EAH model). \nDay 3\n– Approaches for sustaining compassionate working over time (protecting EP capacity to continue meeting the EAH demands\, over time and facilitating continued high quality practise\, in fast paced\, high stakes environments).

SUMMARY:Residency webinar 1. Mind\, bodies and the social nature of subjectivity (Ontology 1)
DESCRIPTION:A 10% discount when signing up to all 11 webinars\nBetween now and the 6th October (the date of the first webinar) you can benefit from a 10% discount when you sign up for all 11 webinars. \nRadical Psychology\, Real Change will be a monthly seminar series that attempts to address the problems outlined above by reviving the legacy of our radical forebears\, critiquing the false radicalism of current practice and presenting new ways of thinking in order to push for revolutionary new ways of thinking in the psychological professions\, so that as psychologists we can go out into the world and make real change. \nPsychology often disconnects our minds from the people and world around us. We’ll address this problem and look at how our relationships with one another co-produce our subjectivities and explore what this might mean for psychology and psychological practice. \nThe seminar series will be accessible to all psychologists\, at all levels of their career from training through to management. Its analytical framework will be founded on a different set of key thinkers and ontological presuppositions than you will find on psychology doctoral courses and will fundamentally challenge many of the established norms set out within those institutions.

SUMMARY:Motivational Interviewing Skills Club for EPs (MISC)
DESCRIPTION:MI Skills Club (MISC) is a free community group for Educational Psychologists wishing to practise their Motivational Interviewing skills. \nIf you have already undertaken some training in Motivational Interviewing (at least half a day)*\, you are welcome to join our MI Skills Club (MISC)\, which is a free community group for Educational Psychologists wishing to practise their MI skills within a small and friendly group. \nBecause MI is a conversational style\, rather than a discrete skill\, it is not something that can be mastered by attending a one-off training session. While MI is a learnable approach\, it takes practice\, reflection and supervision to improve. Learning MI on your own is hard\, and receiving objective feedback and expert feedback are helpful in developing and maintaining competence in MI (Miller & Rollnick\, 2023). \nCathy Atkinson and Fi Coley\, who are both members of the Motivational Interviewing Network of Trainers (MINT)\, are collaborating to build an MI Learning Community for EPs. MINT (2019) defines a learning community as a network of practitioners interested in the same topic\, and the community can serve as both a resource and a forum for developing practice. \nIn each 90-minute online session we will focus on one small aspect of MI (micro-skills practice) and use breakout rooms with small groups to practice skills and give /receive supportive feedback. \nThis event is open to Educational Psychologists\, Trainee Educational Psychologists\, and Assistant Psychologists. We are unable to accommodate aspiring EPs at this event.

SUMMARY:ACT for adolescents - A practical\, skills based introduction
DESCRIPTION:Cost + VAT \nThis 6-hour/2 session workshop introduces adaptions to ACT principles for young people (12-24) through the DNA-V framework — a developmental approach designed to meet their unique needs and enhance therapeutic outcomes. Blending theory with hands-on practice\, participants will gain tools to help teenagers and young clients navigate the challenges of self-identity\, emotions\, relationships\, and values. \nACT offers a strong foundation for building psychological flexibility\, and the DNA-V model (Discoverer\, Noticer\, Advisor\, Values) helps translate these processes into forms that resonate with young people. Together\, they provide a clear\, practical framework for supporting adolescents to move towards what matters. \nThis workshop is for psychologists\, counsellors\, social workers\, teachers\, and other professionals working with young people aged 12–24. It’s suitable for those new to ACT as well as those with some experience who want more practical ways to apply it with adolescents. No prior knowledge of DNA-V is needed. \nThe course is co-hosted by Duncan Gillard\, a HCPC-registered Senior Educational Psychologist and experienced ACT and DNA-V practitioner\, and Freddy Jackson Brown\, a HCPC-registered Chartered Clinical Psychologist with over 20 years’ experience working with children and families in the NHS. \nSession 1:\nWednesday 13th January 2027: 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM \nSession 2:\nThursday 14th January 2027: 6:00 PM – 9:00 PM

DESCRIPTION:A 10% discount when signing up to all 11 webinars\nBetween now and the 6th October (the date of the first webinar) you can benefit from a 10% discount when you sign up for all 11 webinars. \nRadical Psychology\, Real Change will be a monthly seminar series that attempts to address the problems outlined above by reviving the legacy of our radical forebears\, critiquing the false radicalism of current practice and presenting new ways of thinking in order to push for revolutionary new ways of thinking in the psychological professions\, so that as psychologists we can go out into the world and make real change. \nAI is at the forefront of the conversation when it comes to education and work. This session will take a critical look at AI and edtech more broadly to look at why it’s being promoted so heavily\, what risks it poses in education and what we might do about it. \nThe seminar series will be accessible to all psychologists\, at all levels of their career from training through to management. Its analytical framework will be founded on a different set of key thinkers and ontological presuppositions than you will find on psychology doctoral courses and will fundamentally challenge many of the established norms set out within those institutions.

SUMMARY:Residency webinar 9. Consultation and materialism: a critique and ideas for ways forward
DESCRIPTION:A 10% discount when signing up to all 11 webinars\nBetween now and the 6th October (the date of the first webinar) you can benefit from a 10% discount when you sign up for all 11 webinars. \nRadical Psychology\, Real Change will be a monthly seminar series that attempts to address the problems outlined above by reviving the legacy of our radical forebears\, critiquing the false radicalism of current practice and presenting new ways of thinking in order to push for revolutionary new ways of thinking in the psychological professions\, so that as psychologists we can go out into the world and make real change. \nConsultation is a centrepiece of educational psychology training and practice\, yet its theory of change is fundamentally flawed. It suggests that if we can change how someone thinks\, we might be able to change how they act. This session will argue that\, for consultation to be effective\, it needs to be used as a springboard into material change. \nThe seminar series will be accessible to all psychologists\, at all levels of their career from training through to management. Its analytical framework will be founded on a different set of key thinkers and ontological presuppositions than you will find on psychology doctoral courses and will fundamentally challenge many of the established norms set out within those institutions.
