Beyond phases stages and tasks – working with newer theories on grief in the therapeutic space- Athlone CPD
Hodson Bay Hotel, Athlone, Co Westmeath
21-09-2019   9:30am - 4:30pm
6 CPD hours
Please note this is not an IACP run event.

The workshop will take place on Saturday 21 September 2019 in the Hodson Bay Hotel, Athlone, Co Westmeath. 

Main focus of the session will be drawing on participants’ experience of working with grief and loss to help to identify and integrate contemporary theory. This will include identifying grieving styles using the Grief Pattern Inventory (Doka & Martin, 2000) and providing the appropriate support according to the needs of these styles.  There will also be information to aid the therapist to determine whether their client(s) is/are at risk of developing a disorder as their grief trajectory may have become derailed.

For more information and to book your place, please contact Lisa O’Hara on 087-3936536 or email lisaoharacounselling@gmail.com

Please note, this is an external training, awarded at 6 IACP CPD points.

Presenter bio:

Lisa O'Hara

As a graduate from RCSI with an MSc in Bereavement Studies, Lisa works with clients who are struggling to come to terms with loss that can range from bereavement (including infant loss), separation and divorce, illness, job and role loss, through to ageing and retirement, etc. As an experienced therapist, she has also created and delivered training & development programmes for both professionals and the public.

She has a particular interest in grief and loss which is arguably the cornerstone of all therapy and has already delivered/facilitated workshops with therapists on the subject in 2017.

A regular media contributor, Lisa is the author of ‘When A Relationship Ends – Surviving the Emotional Rollercoaster of Separation’ (Orpen Press) that addresses the fallout of separation and provides a useful guide for picking up the pieces and moving on.
