Circle of Security Parenting Program

At times all parents feel lost or without a clue about what our child might need from us. Imagine what it might feel like if you were able to make sense of what your child was really asking from you. The Circle of Security Parenting™ program is based on decades of research about how secure parent-child relationships can be supported and strengthened.

Learning Objectives of the Training:

• Understand your child’s emotional world by learning to read the emotional needs
• Support your child’s ability to successfully manage emotions
• Enhance the development of your child’s self-esteem
• Honour your innate wisdom and desire for your child to be secure

Here are some founding principles that underlie the Circle of Security models of intervention:

1. Attachment problems in infancy and early childhood increase the probability of psychopathology later on in life.
2. Secure attachment relationships with caregivers are a protective factor for infants and preschoolers, setting the foundation for social competence and promoting effective functioning of the emotion regulation and stress response systems.
3. The quality of the attachment relationship is amenable to change.
4. Learning, including therapeutic change, occurs from within a secure base relationship.
5. Lasting change in the attachment relationship comes from caregivers’ developing specific relationship capacities rather than learning techniques to manage behaviour.
6. All caregivers want what is best for their children.

Contact us to find out when our next group program will be running or for individual coaching on the COSP model.

The incidence of burnout is particularly high in students, athletes, teachers, counsellors, mental health workers, health workers, emergency and correctional officers, shift workers, and many other professions. People in helping professions tend to be at greater risk of burnout, and this can lead to compassion fatigue or vice versa.

• Supporting traumatised children and young people at school

Dates: BOOK NOW

 

Children can experience trauma in a variety of ways from a variety of sources. A trauma fight or flight response can be activated by global events and the fear for their safety (such as the recent shooting in America at a concert and the ongoing school shootings). While this may not be happening in Australia students, have a genuine fear for their safety, and some do not leave the house. Personal traumatic events can occur in the home, the school in any aspect of a young person’s life.

 

Everyone’s response to a stressful, traumatic event will be different making it hard to understand why someone may be more distressed in a situation, than another person in the same position. It can also be challenging to know how to best support them.

 

This session will look at how traumatised children can feel safe and included in the school community, what materials and resources are available to support students and what steps to take to ensure the classroom remains a safe space for students to discuss issues.

Sand play therapy is a recognised therapeutic modality for both children and adults, based on the psychology of C.G. Jung and developed by the Swiss psychotherapist and teacher Dora Kalff. It is particularly useful for identifying and reconciling internal conflicts that manifest as anxiety and depression, as well as penetrating the depths of personality to experience the Self directly. Sandplay therapy establishes a safe and protected space, where the complexities of the inner world are explored and integrated into the psyche for emotional healing.

 

Sandplay is hands-on psychological work. It is a powerful therapeutic technique that facilitates the mind’s natural capacity for healing. In a “free and protected” space provided by a trained Sandplay therapist, the client creates a concrete manifestation of his or her imagination using sand, water, and small objects. In this way Sandplay helps honour and illuminate the individual’s inner symbolic world, providing a place for its expression within a safe container.

 

Participants from a range of backgrounds are welcome including counsellors, psychotherapists, students, psychologists, social workers, chaplains, teachers, youth workers etc. This course serves as an introduction to further courses and accreditation.

One on One Supervision is the most sort after and popular form of Supervision. This method of supervision is as it suggests a coalition of a supervisor and a supervisee. One on one usually takes place in a face to face situation however it can also be conducted using the telephone, Skype and web services.

 

Group Supervision is a regular meeting of supervisees with a designated Supervisor. Group Supervision is a working alliance between professional or student counsellors and provides a venue for learning. Australian Counselling Association (ACA) defines Group Supervision as an organised and structured event that has a recognised leader who takes responsibility for the group. The facilitator must meet ACA Supervisor requirements. There should be a minimum of one ACA registered or recognised Supervisor for every 10 group participants

 

Peer Supervision is a process of supervision where members supervise each other. The process and structure are negotiated within the group and limited to well-qualified counsellors.

 

e-Supervision also know as Online, Skype and Telephone Supervision has many advantages for organisations and individuals and can be highly effective. This mode of professional supervision allows for easy sharing of documents and information.   Also, helps addresses any distance restrictions and time restraints. Click here to arrange an e-Supervision session.

 

There are many benefits to having your Professional Supervision at the Clinic in Springwood. Mainly allowing space for you to focus solely on your supervision session and not on any competing priorities and demands within the workplace.  However, at times there may be restrictions to travelling to our clinic; therefore, Transitional Support Supervisors offer Professional Supervision in various modes which may provide a viable alternative.

 

These include Skype and Telephone Supervision, and at times the Professional Supervisor may also travel to your workplace.   Depending on your circumstances, location and needs you may find that a combination of those modalities suits you best.  Through online and telephone modalities we aim to provide a service to people who are unable to attend our clinic for various reasons.

 “As practitioners, we can never know all that we might like to know, nor can we attain all the skills required to effectively intervene with all client populations or all types of problems”.

– Corey, Corey, & Callanan, 2007

 

Professional Supervision is a valued practice that not only helps you to reflect on best practice but more importantly builds your network and increases your resiliency in the industry. When working in helping professions, it is vital that you look after yourself to reduce the impact of burnout and compassion fatigue.  It is within the context of supervision that practitioners begin to develop a sense of their professional identity and to examine their beliefs and attitudes regarding clients and therapy.

 

As in all professions, the counselling practitioner needs to be constantly upgrading their knowledge and skills. Participating in regular ongoing supervision ensures you continue to meet your employment requirements and the continuing professional development requirements of your professional associations. The industry standard is one hour of professional supervision for every ten hours of client contact time.

 

Professional Supervision is a reflective practice that allows counselling practitioners to debrief with a qualified supervisor in a self-reflective process that focuses on theories in practice, ethical issues, self-care and enhances professional growth. Supervision is a process of ensuring best practice and quality service to our clients. It is widely understood that all counselling practitioners, whether experienced or just starting out, benefit from having regular professional supervision.

 

Helping Professionals including Counselling Practitioners, Guidance Officers, Social Workers and Psychologists bring their cases and work practices to another person (individual supervision), or to a group (small group or team supervision), and with structured processes analyse the context and approach used while personally developing from the experience.

 

Discussing cases and processes with a supervisor and receiving non-judgemental constructive feedback enables practising helping professionals to gain an objective insight into their practices. Providing opportunities to enhance professional growth and identify support mechanisms for clients. As critical self-reflection on individual cases is conducted outside of the confines of the counselling session with the client.  The aspect of debriefing is an essential element of the supervisory relationship. Thus, enabling the practitioner to look objectively at the issues raised in each session and their response.

 

People working within helping agencies may have internal supervision included in their employment conditions, but supervision may be overlooked by those working in other organisations or private practice.  Often internal supervision is delivered by line managers, and sessions can be bogged down with competing administrative and organisational demands and general discussions not allowing for professional supervision and case review. In these situations, the supervisee may not feel comfortable disclosing vital information during internal supervision out of concern the line manager and employer may judge their practice or not renew their employment contract.

 

Seeking the services of an external supervisor allows the supervision sessions to be free from workplace politics and restrictions. External supervision allows the supervisee to feel safe and confident providing opportunities for the supervisee to disclose any personal issues and dilemmas as they arise. This mutual relationship of trust and transparency allows the supervisor to identify any potential conflict of interest or ethical concerns before they can develop.

 

Many organisations see the benefits of external supervision for their staff and often agree to pay for the cost of supervision, allow time-in-lieu, or allow staff to attend appointments during their work hours.

 

We encourage you to discuss this with your employer, or if you are an organisation seeking this support for your staff, please give us a call to discuss your specific supervision requirements.

The reality is everyone has their quirks and ways of doing things and while not everyone is always going to like you and nor are you going to like them. Conflict is a normal process; it is part of people it is human nature, it is a way of learning how to live and work in close collaboration with all types of individuals. Conflict forms the process of developing ideas when working in groups. This is the norming, storming and forming process, teams go through and can go through this cycle several times before developing and implementing their ideas.

 

Most of the time we learn how to deal with people and conflict from what we learnt within our family and school environments. The trick is learning how not to take it personally and developing the skills to cope with working with other personalities types. However, at times this conflict within the workplace can be overwhelming and hard to cope with and navigate. It may even leave you feeling like you should be looking for a different job and changing your workplace. When placed in this position it is very difficult, many feelings, and emotions can arise especially if you are not ready to move on.

 

Unfortunately, these situations can be very stressful on people, and they can feel isolated and be placed at risk of depression, potentially leading to increased sick leave and work dissatisfaction. It is vital to speak with a Transitional Support Careers Practitioner if you are experiencing dissatisfaction within the workplace before making any hasty changes. Together we can explore avenues and help you to transition yourself, career or direction into one that you feel comfortable with, in control of and in charge. Such a positioning should make you the master of you career journey and leave you feeling more confident.

An exit plan is a process where a person transitions from one intensive or stressful work or study environment into their next career development phase. A career transition can involve one or more of the following: a shift from year 12 to tertiary education, university to the professional career, intensive career to new employment, occupation to business ownership, work to retirement, full time to part time, family life and work life, healthy to long-term illness or sickness.

 

Ideally the exit process occurs when an individual reaches their goals and potential growth in their current position. For some high risk or stressful careers – prone to burnout – an exit plan may be one for survival. Often this is observed in helping industries where employees are vulnerable to prolonged periods of stress, compassion fatigue and secondary trauma.

 

A well planned exit strategy can explore your personal growth and identify attainable steps to reach your goals. A plan such as this develops your emotional intelligence and increases your resilience to those ensuing changes, thus improving your feeling of safety and comfort during periods of change.

 

Future career planning and self-reflection is the process of taking ‘time out’ to reflect on where you would like the direction of your career to lead. Unfortunately, we don’t always take this time to consider our career path until we are left at crisis or breaking point. Sometimes we need this push before we are ready to accept or make the change. This transitional phase can be one of excitement, anxiety, angst, caution, weariness and apprehension.

 

Transitional Support Career Practitioners will guide you through the self-reflection process, exploring many aspects of your life as well as investigating various opportunities and how to apply for these.

The struggle people have when trying to answer the famous question ‘Who am I?’ is not getting bogged down with negativity or going in the wrong direction. There is a lot of information out there to decipher and even writing your own story is time-consuming. Understating the world of careers investigation and development can be like learning a new language.

 

This is where the Transitional Support Careers Practitioners will guide you through this journey. Careers exploring is not just for school leavers and does not only occur at the end of year 12. Throughout the years there will be many times you stop and ask yourself ‘Who am I?’ That is the time to stop and reflect on all aspects of your life and which new direction you would like to take. It is also an opportunity to transfer your skills into the language of careers and learning how to write selection criteria as well as updating your resume. All the while ensuring you are using careers language that will help you to gain employment in your chosen field. The Workforce is Changing rapidly – How Will You Manage?

 

 

There are several career assessment tools, personality tests and IQ tests that are helpful in your career quest. The most important part of this process is exploring the question everyone asks themselves at one point or another ‘Who Am I’ while also trying to answer ‘I am a person who……’ Deciding on a career is a process that requires self-evaluation and a self-inventory. Looking inwards can always be challenging and confronting. If you are looking for a career direction, more than just paid employment, taking time learning how to research ‘Who am I’ and develop your understanding of career opportunities is a valuable expertise.
