The Back Story
Earlier this month, in partnership with Counselling First, we launched an exciting competition exclusively for counsellors with training centres. This competition was run through the CPCAB (Counselling and Psychotherapy Awarding Body).
The prize? A chance to Win a Workshop—specifically, our transformative 2-hour session titled "Confront the Grey Voices: Reclaim Your Voice," hosted by Grid Society.
We were thrilled to announce that the grand prize winner was Maggie King from Active Learning in Guildford! 🎉
About the Competition:
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.
The Big Day:
Finally, the much-anticipated day arrived!
We travelled from London to Guildford College with great excitement and the immediate reception was so warm and welcoming. We got straight to work—loading the presentation, arranging the space with our signature Grid Society workbooks and carefully setting up the room to create the perfect environment for reflection and growth.
Maggie and her two co-lecturers were incredibly supportive throughout the day, ensuring everything ran smoothly and setting a positive tone for the session.
The participants—second-year counselling students—were insightful, engaged and brought incredible energy to the room. Every single one of them contributed in their own unique way. In true Grid Society fashion, we rewarded those brave enough to speak up first with Grid Society gifts encouraging open dialogue and active participation.
Their ability to self-analyse and immediately embrace the tools we introduced was truly inspiring. What stood out most was how friendly, engaged, and open they were throughout the workshop.
They challenged themselves to think deeply, reflect, and apply the concepts not just to their studies but also to their personal and professional lives.
It was especially rewarding to hear them adopting Grid Society terminology almost immediately—proving just how much the tools resonated with them.
This group was nothing short of amazing and we left feeling grateful for the opportunity to work with such thoughtful, motivated individuals. A heartfelt thank you to Maggie for entering the competition, hosting us and creating such a warm, supportive space for this experience.
Why This Workshop Matters:
"Confront the Grey Voices: Reclaim Your Voice" is more than just a workshop—it’s a journey of self-reflection, growth, and empowerment. Participants leave with:
Strategies to identify and silence their inner critics
Tools to build self-belief and confidence
A clear roadmap to take control of their thoughts and actions
For counsellors like Maggie and her team, these insights are invaluable—not only for their personal development but also for the support they provide to their clients.
Thank you Maggie
