What are Eating Disorders?  What is normal eating? How can we support our clients?
In this workshop we will find out more about our own and our clients eating patterns/behaviours and to be able  use this knowledge with our clients.
Never have we been more aware of what we eat- yet never have we been fatter! Confronting this paradox is the aim of this training.
How and why we eat is affected by many factors.
We will look at underlying emotional problems, physiological symptoms and chaotic eating patterns which disrupt the body’s chemicals and produce food cravings.
We learn how to use diaries and foster awareness in order to build a true picture of a client’s eating habits, self esteem and lifestyles.
We identify fixed behaviour patterns or rituals.
How do we affect a change in a client with an eating disorder?  By the end of the training you will be able to identify behaviours  in the management of cravings and weight; and support a person in a more healthy lifestyle.
“It is unlikely for therapy to succeed without some dietary management.”

Phyll Holmes has worked in counselling since 1992 and is accredited with The Counselling Society. In 1999 she gained a Diploma in Practitioner Skills For Eating Disorders. She uses an integrative approach inclusive of Cognitive Behavioural, Person Centred and Gestalt techniques.

Women Mean Business – Making the choice to be your own boss—Saturday 20th February 2010

I would thoroughly recommend this seminar to all women who have their own business, or are thinking of taking that step.  The concepts and the presentation make this seminar one that is applicable to all sectors, not just counselling.  The material and information provided are a valuable asset to building and increasing one’s ability to move ahead in the corporate world. Thanks so much for helping me build a strong, successful business.

The “Women Mean Business” workshop has given me a different view around the aspects of Women running their own Business and how I can take practical steps to gain a better balance in both my professional and personal life. We looked at the ethos of Counselling as a caring profession and how to combine this with the expected image of a Successful Business Woman, enabling me to focus on blocks and explore them in a safe space. It was a good opportunity to meet other therapists who are working towards similar goals, supporting each other and sharing ideas. Sandra provided a caring and safe environment in which to work, also a wonderful lunch not to be missed. Thank you for a great day.
