The Back Story

Earlier this month, a counselling partnership with Counselling First allowed us to launch an exciting competition exclusively for counsellors with training centres.

This competition was run via the CPCAB (Counselling and Psychotherapy Awarding Body).

The prize?

Counselling First invited counselling organisations to win the opportunity for Grid Society to deliver our signature two-hour workshop: Confront the Grey Voices: Overcome Your Inner Critic.

Now we are proud to share that the winner of this giveaway was Maggie King from Active Learning in Guildford. A well-deserved win and a brilliant reminder of how far our flagship workshop has come since we began. Now, we are using it in a giveaway for future counsellors. How exciting!

A Unique Counselling Partnership Opportunity:

This competition was designed to celebrate and support the incredible work of counselling educators by offering them a first-hand experience of the power and impact of Grid Society’s workshops.

IT'S TIME TO UPGRADE YOUR TOOLS

Innovative strategies to silence the inner critic and strengthen your client's self-esteem.

🫵

Workshop: Go!

Enhance your toolkit with visual & practical tools that align with theory.

“Metaphors enrich counselling by making intangible experiences tangible. They bridge abstract emotions and concrete images, engage memory and emotion and help clients externalise parts of themselves, like the inner critic”

Workshop: Join 4 Reasons

You want to broaden your toolkit with client-ready methods that meet modern challenges in the room.
You support clients facing self-doubt, perfectionism or imposter syndrome, and you want a clearer, more effective way through.
You want strategies that align with the models you have been trained in, without abandoning your theoretical ground.
You are ready to use a framework that helps clients verbalise their emotional state, so you can work at greater depth with clarity.

About - Silencing the Inner Critic

Silencing the Inner Critic is a 6-hour live CPD workshop co-created by Counselling First and Grid Society. Backed by over 100 verified reviews and officially endorsed by CPCAB, this session is designed to expand your practice, not replace it, offering modern tools that work seamlessly with your existing modality.

Whether your clients spiral into overthinking, freeze under pressure, or carry a harsh inner narrative, this workshop gives you adaptable strategies that help them express what they are feeling, so you can work at greater depth, not just surface level.

The day is structured, practical and rooted in real-world application, no roleplay, no over-theoretical content. Just a proven framework you can use in the counselling room immediately.
