Workshops & Group Work
Workshops
In addition to working with individuals Solas Counselling & Psychotherapy also works with various groups, in a variety of sectors. Workshops are generally designed specifically depending on the needs of the group and can take place on a one-off basis or as part of a series dealing with interlinked topics. In the latter case, the workshops are seen as a journey bringing participants from where they are to where they want to be.
Alongside the work on the focused topic of the workshop, whether a single or series of workshops, is the continued personal development and growth of each participant. The workshops encourage participation by each individual with an emphasis on experiential learning. Recent workshops included topics such as:
Boundaries, Acceptance & Understanding, Hearts Desire, Listening, Sexuality, Sexual abuse, Racism, Obesity, Inner peace, Me you and the space between us and Resources.
We are aware that each business or sector has its own particular requirements and here in Solas we continue to be involved in the creation of workshops designed to meet the specific needs and emphasis of each client.
