Online Training

New Course Schedule 27 Oct; 3, 10, 17 & 24 November, 3pm to 5.30pm ($480 – 16 hours CPD) 

This course is launching on Tuesday 27 October with weekly 2.5 hour sessions over 5 weeks. It is open to therapeutic practitioners who are ready to practice within the NDIS system. You may have recently applied to register or had your registration approved, or you have started your NDIS practice and would welcome some assistance. This includes non-registered providers who are seeking to understand the requirements of registered providers and/or simply work more effectively in the NDIS system.

Information and bookings online at https://www.alisounneville.com.au/ndistraining. 

Starts 9th November

ArtKey:  Use art to unlock more effective trauma narratives with Lisa Mitchell, MFT, ATR and Kendra McGivney. Online.

We all know that trauma is a multi-sensory experience, so why do we continue to rely on words alone to help our clients recover? In this course you will learn to enhance trauma treatment and memory reconsolidation with creative expression and sensory based processing. If you are a therapist who is required to use a trauma treatment model that emphasizes cognition as the healing modality, we will take you beyond the workbook pages of manualized treatments.  If you are a therapist who wants to learn to bring art and creative expression to your trauma work with clients in a safe and effective way, we will show you how.  This course is full of colorful examples and client vignettes, hands-on learning opportunities, and real time discussion.
