Professional Certificate in the Therapeutic Use of Mindfulness
Three day course with Padraig O’Morain on Zoom
The course is presented on behalf of the Irish Institute for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
9th, 16th and 23rd September
This three-day course is aimed at counsellors, psychotherapists and other helping professionals. The course is also taken by people who wish to deepen their own personal knowledge and practice of mindfulness.
It’s live on Zoom, one day a week for three weeks. It is not recorded.
Research shows that when the therapist is mindful, clients benefit from that alone, apart from techniques the therapist might teach them.
Who this is for
• Counsellors and psychotherapists who want to integrate mindfulness into clinical work
• Other helping professionals — social workers, nurses, teachers, coaches — who work with people under stress, anxiety or low mood
• Anyone with a personal interest in understanding mindfulness more deeply.
No previous mindfulness training is required.
What the three days cover
You will learn -
Mindfulness practices to pass on to your clients and to use in your own life.
An understanding of mindful awareness and its benefits; and how mindfulness helps with depression, anxiety and relationships.
Clarity on the appropriate use of mindfulness.
Ways mindfulness can help in addiction recovery and in living with chronic pain.
On the last day, groups will design a one hour workshop for various audiences. This helps to refresh your learning and you will come way with an outline of such a workshop for your future use.
