The Who’s and How’s of Training Workshops
FAQs
Therapy
Psychotherapy is ‘Talk Therapy’, whereby collaboratively, both therapist and client work as a team, to identify underlying causes and find solutions for unresolved emotional disturbances, and behavioural issues.
A psychiatrist is a doctor of medicine, who can legally prescribe medication. A counsellor / psychotherapist on the other hand, cannot do that and supports you in getting better, only through therapy. Therapists refer clients to psychiatrists, if medical attention is required.
Training Workshops
Behavioural Health Science professionals (psychologists, counsellors, coaches, life skill trainers), clinical psychologists, psychiatrists, homeopaths and allied mental health workers.
The workshops give in depth understanding of theory and practical application, such that participants can apply the skills in their sessions.
