SUMMARY:Equality\, Diversity\, Inclusion (EDI) & Anti-Discrimination Framework (TADF) Cafe - in person\, Bond Street. With Mamood Ahmad.
DESCRIPTION:EDI/TADF Cafe – ‘Equality\, Diversity and Inclusion/The Anti-Discrimination Framework Café’ – Friday\, 19th of June\, near Bond St Tube\, 6-9pm. With Mamood Ahmad and Leon Berry. \nBooking Link: https://events.humanitix.com/equality-diversity-inclusion-anti-discrimination-framework-tadf-cafe \nFor all therapist colleagues passionate about EDI and TADF developments\, this is an opportunity to meet\, network\, and try the ‘Cafe Model’ of community development within this framework. The event gives 1.5 hours of CPD – the Cafe model is a paedagogical concept developed by Death Cafe (deathcafe.com) facilitating communities of likeminded people to practice focused listening and empathic resonance with each other. \nThis is our first Themed Café\, and it is co-facilitated by Mamood Ahmad\, who has just published his book ‘New Introduction to Counselling Psychology’ and created The Anti-Discrimination Focus (TADF) initiative. \nMamood’s work provides an ambitious\, comprehensive framework for systematically including the factors of race\, class\, gender\, religion\, sexuality and disability\, intersectionality and associated societal power-dynamics into clinical thinking and practice. It is designed for therapists’ training programs and includes therapists’ reflexivity on their own position in the socio-economic-cultural frame. It has been adopted by tutors in several major training organisations\, such as Metanoia Institute\, NAOS Institute\, Keele University\, Caspari Foundation\, Warwick University and many others. \nHere is a video summarising his approach: https://vimeo.com/1166075933 \nMamood will be speaking at the UKCP conference on the 19th of June and co-facilitate our EDI/TADF Café afterwards\, where he will share his experiences with implementing the framework so far. This Café is further co-facilitated by Leon Berry\, who has attended our Cafés and has agreed to consult for Therapists Café to help us provide an inclusive space for colleagues of all backgrounds to feel welcome – as\, sadly\, this has not been the experience for him during his own training. His website: https://www.asafeplace2talk.co.uk/about-me/ \nThis Café is for all colleagues across disciplines who are working on themselves and their practice to push the envelope for our profession to become as conscious as possible and to help facilitate holistic change. Psychoanalytic thought is welcome\, as we want to include the ‘unconscious’ in our thinking (and action) – e.g. the intersection of formative object relations and cultural process\, like splitting\, projection and oedipal competition across the fault-lines of structural oppression. \nThe Café is a networking opportunity for colleagues working on the same themes to support and inspire each other. From the Café-side\, it is an attempt to use the ‘Café model’ for the reflective space to foster a positive group synergy of agency and hope around a subject matter that can otherwise be bleak. \nThere will be more detailed information in the booking emails for those who are interested to join\, and we are currently working on an EDI policy for our website. \n NB: this event is a Cafe/Salon event\, NOT therapy. While great care is taken to provide a safe\, empathic space\, participants are required to manage their own emotional process.  \nBooking: https://events.humanitix.com/equality-diversity-inclusion-anti-discrimination-framework-tadf-cafe \nFor news on further Cafes\, please sign up to our newsletter: https://gsforms.net/GSN-521998-Z/5bdc53f1-4574-4f2d-85e1-8784b27caa23 \nThe contribution is £15 for room rent and snacks

SUMMARY:Therapists Private Practice/Business Development Marketing Training
DESCRIPTION:Therapists Private Practice/Business Development Marketing Training: Attracting Clients to Your Private Practice Without Losing Yourself \n \nDelivered by psychotherapist and former senior global sales and marketing director\, Cindy Gale. \n \nMarketing a private therapy practice can feel exposing\, confusing or uncomfortable. Many therapists know they need to be more visible\, yet struggle with where to start and how to describe what they offer in a way that feels clear\, ethical and true to them.\nIn this practical 2 hour workshop\, Cindy Gale will help you think about marketing in a grounded and values led way. The session will help you clarify who you want to work with\, what you offer\, why it matters to your clients and how to communicate this more effectively.\n\nCindy Gale is a psychotherapist\, facilitator\, and founder of the HSPconnect community movement. She is also a former senior global sales and marketing director and has long taken an interest in teaching therapists about effective marketing. Cindy has run her own therapy practice and other therapy-related business projects successfully for many years\, developing proven strategies for what works in business for therapists.\n\nAfter the workshop\, participants will also be invited to join Therapists Cafe’s ongoing monthly peer support sessions\, attended by Cindy\, offering a space to reflect\, share learning and support each other as they put the work into practice.\n\n“Marketing workshops are usually like kryptonite to me because they can be so dull. Cindy’s approach is the opposite. She builds on the essence of who we are\, and helps us see how that is directly related to how we offer ourselves.”\nAnoushka Beazley\, Author and psychotherapist\, Manderlay Therapy\n\nFee £40 – covering Cindy’s fees and contributing to the project of Therapists Cafe\n\nBooking Link: https://events.humanitix.com/attracting-clients-to-your-private-practice-without-losing-yourself\n\nOr email therapists.cafe@protonmail.com

SUMMARY:
DESCRIPTION:Therapists (screen) writing group – Friday\, 26th of June\, 6-9pm\, nea\n\nThis group is to have fun\, lighthearted discussions of movies\, TV shows and novels and also for colleagues who are actively writing to develop their skills. It is supported by Stephen Gyllenhaal. In-person meeting in central London (Library Rooms near Bond Street) and hybrid/online versions. \n\nThis group is not a formal screenwriting training. But we take our inspiration from Psychoanalysis Goes To The Movies (https://www.facebook.com/groups/1544839415632398) \nand our recognition that many of us love to analyse TV shows and movies and also have our own ideas of what could be created. Many colleagues also write blogs\, guest columns\, or novels.

SUMMARY:Private Practice/Business Development Peer Supervision - ONLINE - monthly
DESCRIPTION:Private Practice/Business Development Group – Peer Supervision. ONLINE\, monthly. \nSunday\, 28th of June\, 3-4pm. £25 to contribute to the running costs of our project\, which is not for profit.  \nWith psychotherapist and marketing expert Cindy Gale – following up from her teaching workshop on basics of marketing for private practice\, 20th of June\, 11am-1pm. It will be helpful for you to attend the workshop\, as this peer supervision uses this as basis for ongoing development. \nThis event is a monthly peer supervision group for all colleagues interested in developing their private practice or any other business venture they are working on. We will share our tips and experiences with marketing\, advertising\, practice development\, and all other business skills acquired. Topics discussed so far were marketing\, SEO\, social media strategies\, where to find good experts\, how to develop specialisms for private work and promote them locally\, in partnership with other services and colleagues. \nReasons: \n\nBecause Business Skills are not part of our training but they should be.\nBecause our ‘product’ is unique as is complex and needs to be clinically and ethically sound in order to be of good quality – ‘business’ and ‘marketing’ therefore need to be thought about in a more holistic way.\nBecause ‘mental health’ has become a huge market and our profession is under threat from venture capital firms (platformisation) and other bigger-scale for-profit businesses which seek to exploit therapists and customers – we therefore must work together to protect our practice spaces\, integrity\, and clients.\n\nAction: to sign up\, please email therapists.cafe@protonmail.com
