PRACTICAL CBT Newsletter
by Professor Patrick McGhee, FRSA, BPS, BABCP
What do professional bodies expect in terms of CPD?
It is important that all fully qualified and trainee counsellors are aware of the CPD requirements of their respective professional bodies. All of the accrediting organizations have, of course, fully accepted online events as countable towards annual requirements. But what are the specific requirements? Full details can be found here:

WORKSHOP OF THE WEEK
Our Treating Gambling Addiction workshop addresses an increasingly high presenting area. In addition to clients who are struggling with gambling addiction, many clients will have sons and daughters who have found themselves in over their heads on gambling - causing considerable distress. New research shows that youngsters as young as 12 are gambling online games using 'skins'. Join us for a fascinating insight into a challenging but growing area.
