We’re excited to announce that Scott D. Miller PhD, an experienced U.S. counselling psychologist, is returning to Melbourne in June 2019 to deliver an exclusive workshop on the topic of Reach: Pushing Your Clinical Skills and Effectiveness to the Next Level.
This specialised training follows on from a workshop which Scott delivered in Melbourne in 2017 on the topic of ‘What works in therapy’. Participant feedback from this workshop included:
In our upcoming training, participants will learn strategies to enhance their clinical performance and achieve better outcomes with clients. Specific practices employed by highly effective therapists around the world will be examined, and participants will gain an empirically sound, clinician-friendly method for determining the effectiveness of their clinical work compared to peers and national norms.
This rare professional development opportunity is not to be missed! Places are limited so register early to avoid disappointment. We're also offering a discounted rate for students.
