Reignite Your Passion for Therapy: Continuous Professional Development with a Difference

As therapists, we dedicate ourselves to guiding others through their challenges and personal growth. This important works brings rewards, but there are times when even the most experienced professional can feel stagnant or stuck in the routine of therapeutic practice.

This is a natural part of empathetic caring curve and serves as a timely reminder for a little self-care - to seek fresh insights, new perspectives and renewed inspiration.

Connecting with Others

Therapists protect the confidentiality of their clients. This can lead to a sense of isolation, so opportunities to engage with a community of like-minded people, to share experiences, discuss challenges, and explore new methodologies offer reconnection and can be invaluable.

Continuous professional development (CPD) plays a crucial role in keeping therapy practices vibrant and relevant, and the skills acquired help therapists to remain at the forefront of their profession.

Sheila Menon, Principal of the London College of Clinical Hypnosis (LCCH – LSCCH Group), highlights that participating in these specialised programs not only enhances individual skills but also enriches the collective knowledge of the therapeutic community.

CPD with a difference

LCCH has developed a suite of short courses designed to give therapists access to some of the most modern and innovative techniques. Each course offers an exciting 2-3 months of immersion into a specialist subject, allowing for deep exploration and hands-on application.

The original concept was based on networking spaces and skill enhancement. But LCCH educators are also therapist with decades of clinical experience, and the programmes evolved into five Specialist Certificates approved by an impressive list of professional societies.

Live online platforms bring this safe learning space to therapists working in any corner of the globe, inviting lively discussions of ethical challenges, cultural diversity and case sharing.  Participants select from a menu of courses or complete four core Specialist Certificate courses to obtain the Advanced Practitioner Diploma in Integrative Psychotherapy (APDIP)—a prestigious qualification that sets each recipient as an elite global therapist.  

Adapting to a Rapidly Changing World

The world is evolving, and so are the challenges that our clients face. Recent events including changes in cultural values, digital communication, and shifting family dynamics have reshaped the therapeutic landscape. Approaches that were once effective may now require adaptation to align with modern client needs.

The APDIP includes modules on psychological trauma, addictive behaviours, EMDR techniques, quantum psychology, solution focused therapy, advanced hypnotherapy techniques and a holistic integrative approach to psychotherapy. Therapists can consolidate their experiences, re-evaluate prior learning, and integrate these with the latest advancements in the field. It is also packed with fun, new discoveries and opportunity to be playful about the very serious work that we do.

Uncover A Bold New Direction

For therapists seeking to rejuvenate their practice, the APDIP offers a structured and comprehensive pathway to professional excellence. This program is designed to:

✔ Integrate Diverse Modalities –provide a holistic understanding of multiple psychotherapeutic approaches and healthcare models.

✔ Encourage Reflective Practice –structured reflection and case discussions, exploration of cultural diversity and inclusivity and an opportunity to enhance methodologies.

✔ Address Contemporary Issues –innovative techniques for working with psychological trauma and emotional disturbances, ensure therapy aligns with modern client needs.

✔ Professional Positioning – to help you position your practice and work at the forefront of your profession.

It is an approach that places your client at the heart of the therapeutic experience and equips you with a flexible, cutting-edge framework that combines traditional methods with your professional experience in the consulting room and helps prepare you for the contemporary challenges of modern psychotherapy.
