Recognising and Reframing Anxiety – online workshop June 2024

Overview:

Everyone experiences anxiety at some time, even children.

And helping clients understand their experience of anxiety can often provide an alternative way of engagement, and help clear the path to enable the other work to continue.

Recognising and reframing to anxiety is a core skills online workshop suitable for new and experienced practitioners. It offers practical means to help reduce anxiety, and provides an opportunity to unpack what anxiety can look like and the possibilities of supporting clients in those moments.

Alison Krusec is an engaging and inspiring facilitator who creates an open space for all.
