New tool updates. Website version 14.

The new website version focused on the tools. Clients and supervisees are advised to recheck them as several were remade and new ones were added. CBT has remade basic tools like thought records and new tools for phobias. EMDR has had alternative protocols for issues like addiction or physical pain added. Schema therapy has had much of its formulation tools remade to make clearer links and have easy to read flashcards. There are a few new mindfulness and distress tolerance tools. These resources will enhance the therapy journey for all clients.

CPD- Compassion focused therapy diploma

Progress emphasises high-quality, evidence-based treatments, with training being essential. Following the 2023 training on CFT, Robert excelled academically, passing 10 tests with distinction. CFT, an effective therapy for shame, guilt, and anger, has proven to be a valuable method in Progress’s therapeutic approach.

5 years of Progress!

Today marks the fifth anniversary of the service. Thank you to all of those that have worked with or supported the service. The service continues to support people on their mental health journey and hundreds have now had positive outcomes. The new trauma service has also gotten off to a great start with 10 people receiving EMDR already. It has been an amazing experience and I look forward to continuing to provide an excellent and accessible service.

CPD- Train the trainer

Robert completed Train the Counselling Trainer course that is recognised as an appropriate qualification for accreditation as a trainer of counsellors and psychotherapists.
