CPD

Continuing Professional Development (CPD)

Riverside’s highly regarded and stimulating CPD Programme aims to offer Saturday workshops that are open to therapists from all backgrounds. For those who are qualified or still in training, or even for those who just have an interest in counselling and psychotherapy.

Workshops are delivered by leading clinicians across a range of therapeutic specialisms, and sessions may be used as proof of CPD towards re-accreditation. A CPD certificate is issued at the end of each workshop.

Our workshops offer rich and varied opportunities to deepen your expertise, to meet with local fellow practitioners and to discover new ideas to support your practice. They are usually held at the Friends’ Meeting House, 45 Northfield End, Henley, RG9 2JJ.  At present our workshops are being held online and we are closely monitoring and following the advice from Public Health England and aim to resume face to face events as soon as is safe.

Events

Understanding and Working with Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder

Toby Ingham January 22nd 2022, 10:00AM to 12:30PM

This will take place online via Microsoft Teams

In this CPD session Toby will start by examining clinical thinking around the subject of emotional instability.  He has long been drawn to the complex questions that underly diagnoses of borderline personality disorder and emotionally unstable personality disorder, and finds that in his own private practice, and in the voluntary counselling organisation he works for, it has become increasingly necessary to have a working understanding of these ideas. Being able to think about the multifaceted transferential dynamics that problems of emotional stability raise, can provide us with a lens through which we can more effectively orient ourselves and our work.

In this CPD event Toby will first consider theoretical ideas, and then look at case material. Please come with case material of your own to discuss.  The aim of the session is to increase our capacity to reflect on the phenomena of emotional instability. Hopefully we will all come away from it feeling better equipped to work with these often-disturbing clinical experiences and encounters.

Cost: £30 (£20 concessionary rate for students & Riverside Associates*)
