Silencing the Inner Critic: Online Counselling CPD Workshop

On 28 June, we hosted our second Silencing the Inner Critic online counselling CPD workshop, a six-hour interactive training experience for counsellors, supervisors and coaches, delivered by Counselling First and Grid Society.

(Learn about our collaboration.)

The workshop equipped practitioners with practical tools and techniques they could integrate into their counselling sessions. Using the Universal Grid framework, we explored how our approach connects with established counselling theories, offering fresh ways to work with the inner critic while strengthening practitioners' own self-awareness and resilience.

What made the session particularly memorable was the atmosphere created by the professionals attending. Their questions, reflections and willingness to engage made the day both insightful and rewarding. It was a privilege to work with practitioners who brought such depth, care and generosity to the experience.

CPCAB attended our workshop

We were delighted to welcome a senior representative from CPCAB, one of the UK's leading counselling and psychotherapy awarding bodies, who attended to observe our Silencing the Inner Critic CPD workshop in practice.

Rather than simply observing, he became an active participant in the training. He introduced himself to the group, contributed thoughtfully to discussions and took part in the practical activities alongside the counsellors, supervisors and coaches attending.

His engagement and willingness to experience the tools first-hand made his presence particularly meaningful to us.

What the CPCAB representative said after the workshop

Following the workshop, we received an email from the CPCAB representative sharing his feedback on the training. Here is what he had to say:

“Thank you once again for the training you kindly provided, it was a privilege to be a part of the day with you all, I found it extremely useful and enjoyed the experience. I will continue to use the strategies and tools you taught as I found these to be a valuable way of maintaining one's self-care and resilience.”

A thank you to all the practising counsellors who attended

To all the practising counsellors and professionals who joined us, thank you for bringing your experience, curiosity and willingness to participate. The entire session was truly amazing, filled with thoughtful discussions, shared experiences and genuine enthusiasm for learning.

Our aim has always been to give counsellors practical tools they can take beyond the workshop and into their work with clients, while supporting their own personal and professional development.

Receiving feedback like this reminds us why we do what we do. Your participation made the experience memorable, and we look forward to continuing to share the Universal Grid framework with more counselling professionals.
