Our CPD workshops are facilitated by experienced practicing specialists in their fields. We have a range of courses that are aimed at qualified counsellors who wish to develop their practice, as well as students of counselling.

Creativity in the Therapy Room: Using Creative Methods in Counselling Practice
Date: Saturday 5th and Sunday 6th September 2026
This experiential weekend workshop explores the use of creativity within therapeutic practice. Drawing on integrative approaches including Person-Centred, Gestalt, and expressive/creative methods, the workshop will introduce participants to a range of creative processes that can support emotional exploration, insight, and relational awareness in therapy.
The course is designed for practitioners who wish to expand their therapeutic toolkit and explore how creative expression can help clients access feelings, memories, and experiences that may be difficult to articulate through words alone. Through experiential exercises, reflection, and discussion, participants will gain confidence in introducing creative approaches into their clinical work while maintaining strong therapeutic boundaries and ethical awareness. Pre-course reading will be available on the Heartwood Online Platform.
