Mental Health Professionals

On Friday, 14th March, we successfully delivered our first-ever 6-hour CPD-approved Workshop for Qualified & Student Counsellors, marking the beginning of an exciting collaboration with Counselling First.

This intensive session introduced mental health professionals to Grid Society tools designed to enhance client practice, backed by theory and real-world application.

Counselling Workshop for Counsellors: Our First Collaboration with Counselling First Was a Success!

Practical Tools for Counsellors

This workshop was inspired by Kay Choudary, who runs Counselling First. When she first experienced our workshop, she immediately saw the synergies with her work. Inspired by its impact, she began integrating Grid Society tools into client sessions wherever applicable.

This partnership led to the creation of a powerful workshop, bridging theoretical depth with practical tools, giving counsellors new ways to support their clients. This comprehensive workshop, Silence the Inner Critic: Mastering New Tools for Client and Personal Success, is a detailed version of our signature workshop, Confront the Grey Voices.

Online Session

Delivering a 6-hour online workshop was a huge milestone. Seeing counsellors integrate deep theoretical grounding into our framework was both humbling and inspiring. At the start, some cameras were off, unsure of what to expect, but by the end, most were on and for those who weren’t, we could hear them contributing actively. Attention spans were fully engaged and it felt like an open, dynamic conversation, as if we were all in the same room. The sharing, learning and energy throughout the session was truly incredible.

Years in the Making...

The Grid Society framework is rich with angles and structured methodologies, a system that took years to develop. It was built with one mission: to help others self-reflect, progress, and step into their absolute potential. Now, watching qualified professionals embrace this mission and carry it forward is more than we could have hoped for.

A heartfelt Thank You

A huge thank you to Kay and Counselling First for collaborating with Grid Society and believing in what we have to offer.

But our biggest thank you goes to all the counsellors who joined us on Friday. We appreciate you immensely. We loved every minute of the workshop and learned a tremendous amount from your experiences.

We wish you every success in your practices and it is our hope that this workshop breathes an extra layer of life and a new perspective into your work, helping you to continue impacting those who need your services.
