CPCAB-Endorsed Workshop Equips Counsellors with Practical Tools to Dismantle Self-Doubt in the Therapy Room
Grid Society, in collaboration with Counselling First is proud to announce that its Silencing the Inner Critic Workshop has now been officially CPD-endorsed by CPCAB, Counselling & Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body, one of the UK’s most respected organisations for counselling training and accreditation.
This endorsement from CPCAB, the Counselling & Psychotherapy Central Awarding Body, marks a powerful milestone for both organisations. It affirms the workshop’s status as a high-calibre professional training, built not only to inspire but to equip counsellors with real, lasting tools that strengthen in-room client outcomes.
CPD endorsement that validates Grid Society’s counselling tools
This is a moment we are incredibly proud of.
The Silencing the Inner Critic workshop is built on a foundation that has taken years to shape. At the core of its structure is the Grid Society methodology, a system developed to help people navigate mindset, identity and personal growth with clarity and strategy.
What makes this moment significant is the role Counselling First has played in recognising the strength of that system and championing its place within professional counselling practice. Their belief that these tools belong in the room led to the formal application, the collaboration, and ultimately this CPCAB endorsement.
To now have this work officially recognised by a national awarding body is not only affirming, it signals that practitioner CPD can be both academically grounded and practically impactful. It acknowledges that structured, client-ready tools like those from Grid Society deserve to sit within the highest levels of counselling training.
CPD framework for counsellors to use directly in client sessions
This 6-hour CPD is built around one of the most persistent client challenges: the inner critic. Often fuelled by perfectionism, self-doubt and imposter syndrome, it is a pattern that counsellors encounter regularly and often without a clear, structured framework for addressing it in-session.
Silencing the Inner Critic offers just that:
✔️ Evidence-based concepts delivered through real-world structure
✔️ Practical frameworks designed to be used immediately in client sessions
✔️ Language tools that strengthen both the counsellor’s posture and the client’s progress
Counselling CPD that meets national training standards
What sets this workshop apart is its commitment to real-world impact.
This is not theoretical learning for the sake of credit hours. It is practical development rooted in the Grid Society method, a system now formally recognised for its ability to serve qualified counsellors in live client work.
The CPCAB endorsement confirms that Silencing the Inner Critic exceeds the standards required for formal CPD, and places it among a small number of programmes nationally recognised for both quality and clinical relevance.
CPCAB CPD recognition marks a milestone for Grid Society
According to Grid Society’s philosophy, moments like this are what we call Orange moments – a culmination of vision, effort and belief crystallising into formal recognition.
In a field that demands excellence, it is significant to see a workshop like this officially acknowledged by one of the UK’s leading counselling bodies.
This endorsement is more than a credential. It is a signal that the counselling profession is ready to embrace fresh, structured tools that meet the psychological demands of modern client work – tools designed not only to inform, but to move in real time, within real sessions.
It is a proud and intentional milestone, grounded in clarity, shaped by precision, and aligned with our mission to create resources that make a lasting professional impact.
Grid Society’s mission aligns with the values of the counselling profession
Our mission is to help individuals break cycles. Grid Society’s personal mission is to support people in disrupting inherited patterns, challenging limiting beliefs and rewiring the way they move through the world with greater clarity and intention.
This mission sits in powerful alignment with the work counsellors do every day – helping people find clarity, build resilience and move toward healing.
With this CPCAB endorsement, we are proud to stand alongside the counselling profession in its commitment to transformative, client-centred change.
