Overview

This workshop will help you identify and be prepared for the differences in approach between working with adults and working with children. It offers general principles, guidelines and good practice for the safety and protection of child and therapist alike.

By using a solution focused approach it seems that often as much therapy can take place outside the trance as inside the trance. It is important to be aware of the expectations of all concerned (including your own) and to expect the unexpected and be able to use your own creativity and imagination.

There will be a mix of lecture, examples of case history, questions and group discussion.

Topics:

• Differences in approach between adults and children
• General principles and guidelines
• Safeguards for child clients and the therapist
• Using a solution focused approach: ways to structure a session
