Saturday 19th October 2024  10.00 to 12.30 Mary Allan Building Auditorium
 
Researching embodied practices in psychotherapeutic counselling to deepen our connection with self and others
 
Course Alumni Josie Bright and Georgia Riley will be presenting their Transforming Practice  MEd dissertations

Josie’s research was titled The Gaps Where the Gold Flows and was a heuristic inquiry into embodied knowledge and the power of the unknown in psychotherapeutic counselling.  
 
Georgia’s research was titled The Good Enough Therapist and was an autoethnographic exploration into accepting imperfection and integrating the mind and body through deliberate practice. 
 
Both dissertations were awarded Distinctions.
 
This session will give both psychotherapeutic practitioners and educators (in the widest sense of that word) insights into how research that is congruent with the relational practice of therapy and education can deeply transform people; practitioners, children we work with, colleagues. You will leave inspired and reminded that what makes the difference in transforming the lives of the people we work with is the quality of the relationship we create with them.
