Training

My approach to training and facilitation attempts to embody the core conditions of empathy, congruence and non-judgmental acceptance in the training context. This is a challenging proposition for both trainers and trainees, as the usual rules of education and learning are not adhered to.

Group Facilitation 

I have experience of facilitating both small and large groups, including personal and professional development groups, encounter groups, and both structured and unstructured learning groups. I see group work as a collaborative exercise of working together to discover new understandings about how we come into relationship with each other. Though sometimes daunting, I see large groups in particular as having tremendous potential for personal growth.

Counselling training 

I have delivered a variety of different types of training including counselling skills training, undergraduate programs, and Masters level courses in the UK, Australia and New Zealand. In addition I have experience of designing and implementing custom course material, including submitting courses for validation.

I am currently working at the University of Auckland in Aotearoa New Zealand on the Master of Counselling program. Prior to this, I facilitated counselling training courses at Auckland University of Technology, the University of Queensland in Australia, the University of Strathclyde, the University of Edinburgh, and the University of Abertay Dundee in the UK.
