This week sees the release of my new course on Gestalt Therapy. The idea of Gestalt Therapy is to raise a client’s awareness of their body, sensations and experience, and use this greater awareness to help them solve emotional problems in their lives. It is one of the oldest modalities in psychotherapy and is still popular today.

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) is the original mindfulness programme developed by Jon Kabat-Zinn. While there are many forms of mindfulness today, back in the late 70s, mindfulness was just being born and this was the eight-week intensive programme that took a previously spiritual practice and turned it into a medical one.

This new course takes you step-by-step through the programme with additional modules for teachers and mental health professionals.

My Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) course is one of my best selling courses and the owner of a coveted bestseller tag. But CBT is not a single therapy: it came out of the work of multiple psychologists including Aaron Beck’s Cognitive Therapy and Albert Ellis’s Rational Emotive Behavioural Therapy (REBT).

REBT is still highly relevant today: the way it attacks core beliefs, the ABC model and its use of a variety of cognitive, emotional and behavioural strategies are all still key to the success of CBT.

I’m honoured to have a bestseller tag for my Mindfulness Teacher Training course (one of five of my courses that currently holds one) and excited to be launching a new course alongside it: Meditation Teacher Training.

The new course takes a wider view of the subject. We’ll look at meditation in a variety of cultural contexts, as well as scientific applications, before diving into a range of meditation techniques.

Traditional forms of psychotherapy involve talking a lot about problems and take a long time. This is expensive for the client and isn’t much fun because you have to talk about your weakest points. Of course, it may be worth it if you make gains. But there is an alternative.

Solution-Focused Brief Therapy says that by focusing on a client’s existing strengths and using those to build solutions, change can be achieved in only a handful of sessions. In my new course, we’ll explore all about SFBT: what it is, how it works and how to use it.
