If your booking is accepted that means there was space for you. If it is full, email sambaker.pa@gmail.com to join the ‘reserve list’. Then, if anyone drops out we will notify you, if there is a ‘last minute’ place for you. We will also let you know when we plan a new date.
In this small experiential group you will be facilitated to explore your own experiences of careseeking and caregiving in a safe environment using the group model of Una McCluskey. Maintaining an environment of safety, to enable exploration, has been central to McCluskey’s work. This exploration will support all clinical work and particularly working with complex trauma issues.
The careseeking system will be explored in the morning and the caregiving system in the afternoon. There will be a very brief explanation of each system before each section.
McCluskey’s article ‘The Fear Free Caregiver’ will be circulated in advance.
This is part of the Advanced Certificate in the Clinical Application of Attachment Theory

Maximum numbers: 8
Approved for CPD : This course will give you 6.5 hours of CPD.
Our expectation: Is that you will attend this workshop for the full length of the course, have your video on, your mobile off, and fully participate.
- There are some online talks on zoom that allow you to come and go, or to choose not to participate in the exercise and breakout rooms. This culture has started to creep into our workshops. We have even had people say they want to leave to go and pick up children from school or walk their dog! People dropping in and out is very disruptive – especially when there may be group exercises that are planned for the same group to participate in a number of times.
- Because of this, we want to be clear about our expectations. This workshop has been planned with the assumption that you, and everyone else, will attend for the full time.
- So please be clear, that if you book on this workshop, we expect you to attend for the whole time, to participate in the breakout rooms and exercises and have your video switched on.
- Please also put your mobile to one side and on silent – checking your phone or texting will mean that you miss material. So we request that you only check your phone during breaks.
Therapists Insurance: By booking on this workshop you confirm that you have sufficient insurance to offer therapy to the public. (We are required by the NCIP, who accredit this workshop, to ask you to confirm this). If there is any discrepancy please let us know by contacting jonstow.cyh@gmail.com
Cancellations: Any request to change (eg defer to alternative dates) or cancel your place at a workshop, that is made at less than 21 days before the course start date will be charged in full.
