At the fundamental level, therapy employs techniques to facilitate change. The practitioner's use of techniques, coupled with their mindset on change, can determine the efficacy of the work. This webinar draws on core concepts in Paul Peluso's two excellent books: Principles of Counseling and Psychotherapy: Learning the Essential Domains and Nonlinear Thinking of Master Practitioners and Advanced Principles of Counselling and Psychotherapy: Learning, Integrating, and Consolidating the Nonlinear Thinking of Master Practitioners. Peluso offers a model for progressing therapy practice from the initial linear, step-by-step approach to one that embraces and engages the rich complexity of the human condition.

This webinar will also integrate complementary interdisciplinary perspectives from the presenter's PhD research, notably Design Thinking and how it addresses complex problems by leveraging intuition and creativity. For the experienced practitioner: this webinar will support your ongoing reflective practice, identify what nonlinear techniques you are already using, and map out areas for further investigation and development. For the novice practitioner: this webinar will provide an introductory understanding and a potential framework to plan your development into a future master practitioner.
