Following the publication of my article, “Working with People with a Psychiatric Diagnosis”, in the October 2025 edition of the British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy’s (BACP) Healthcare Counselling and Psychotherapy Journal, I am creating a series of courses for mental health professionals – including psychotherapists, psychologists and counsellors – on working with clients with a psychiatric diagnosis.

The first course in this series is on depression. As of 18th February 2026, there are over 22 hours of audio-visual material within the course. I will be uploading further modules every 7-10 days.

Comments about the course to date from therapists who have enrolled:

"Amazing the amount of work you have completed thus far"

"I am a very big fan of your work as you know".

These courses will increase mental health professionals’ understanding and confidence in working with people with a psychiatric diagnosis.

There are four sections within this course: The curriculum is set out below.

1.A setting out of the current understanding of the psychiatric diagnoses.

2.A critique of this current understanding of the psychiatric diagnoses.

3.The presentation of a detailed trauma- and psychological understanding of the psychiatric diagnoses.

4.Working psychotherapeutically with people with a psychiatric diagnosis.

There is also a group chat feature, moderated by me, so you will be able to engage with me on an ongoing basis within the group of other course participants for further discussions and questions.
