Since then, through FDP, Jan has continued to run post counselling training courses and study days with a conviction that experiential learning is imperative for the continued development and deepening of the core attitudinal qualities of empathy, congruence and unconditional positive regard, which are crucial to Person-Centred and other relationship focussed therapies. \u00a0She has been particularly keen to encourage therapists to extend their practice to people with learning disabilities, many of whom suffer silently from their legacies of childhood abuse.<\/p>\n<p>A background in lecturing in psychology and special needs, and her experiences over 30+ years since working with her first client in therapy, Jan feels blessed to have worked in a variety of settings. \u00a0With a core of therapy and supervision, she also consults with filmmakers, and supports palliative care teams in their work. \u00a0Jan feels she does one thing, but does it in a variety of ways![\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Photo by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.paultucker.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Paul Tucker Photography<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column css_animation=&#8221;fadeInRight&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;700&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221; qode_css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1784017019459{padding-top: 20px !important;padding-right: 20px !important;padding-bottom: 20px !important;padding-left: 20px !important;background-color: #fe8a40 !important;}&#8221; el_class=&#8221;thoughtoftheday&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Thought for a while<\/h3>\n<p>\u201cWhen I say that I enjoy hearing someone, I mean, of course, hearing deeply\u2026 Sometimes too, in a message which is superficially not very important, I hear a deep human cry that lies buried and unknown far below the surface of the person&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><strong><i class=\"\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"\" style=\"font-size: large;\"><em>Carl Rogers <\/em><\/span><\/span><\/i><\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;grid&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1602145124832{padding-top: 150px !important;padding-bottom: 75px !important;background-color: #fafafa !important;}&#8221; el_id=&#8221;courses&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;341&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; qode_css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1602140798454{padding-right: 30px !important;padding-left: 30px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Study Days Autumn 2026 &#8211; on ZOOM!<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Before the pandemic, all study days were small groups in person, days when practitioners could engage with the topic and also share lunch and breaks together, something I miss in the Zoom days. On a practical level, Zoom does allow people to participate from wider afield, and to minimise the costs in time and travel. Each study day costs \u00a370, to include handouts, recommended reading and CPD Certificate of Attendance. Please know that if finances have continued to be affected by the cost-of-living crisis or the various viruses which continue to impact our lives, you are welcome to join any of the study days either on a trainee rate of \u00a330 or free (assuming there is already a viable group).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Each day will consist of some input on the topic, experiential processing, and space to discuss practice issues relating to the theme. Each workshop will be from 10.00am until 4.00pm with a lunch break of 1 \u00bc hours when online, to allow for Zoom rest. If you would like to attend, please send the attached slip.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Each day is facilitated by Jan Hawkins, a Person-Centred therapist, supervisor and trainer, having a passion for experiential, ongoing learning opportunities for practitioners.

It can be seen and felt as something bad, nasty, shameful. It can lead to spiralling loss of control and increasing difficulties in relationships. A myriad of feelings can come to dominate and lead to behaviours which, far from bringing closer the connection and attachment the individual really needs, push away people. Jealousy can be at the root of suspicion, insecurity and mistrust. So, how might we, as person-centred therapists, welcome jealousy into the therapeutic space for exploration like any other feeling? What may lie beneath our own and our clients\u2019 feelings of jealousy? This day will focus on exploring our own experiences of jealousy and how we may \u2013 as Rogers suggested \u2013 send a new telegram to our clients telling them it is safe to bring this issue to therapy now.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text]<a href=\"mailto:jan@janhawkins.co.uk?subject=Dissociation \u2013 Exploring Jealousy in person-centred therapy\" target=\"_self\" data-hover-background-color=#ff680a data-hover-color=#ffffff class=\"qbutton  medium\" style=\"color: #ffffff; margin: 30px auto; background-color: #fe8a40;\">Enquire<\/a>[\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243; el_class=&#8221;center-my-button&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;468&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1784017807173{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}&#8221; qode_css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Chronic Sorrow<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong><span class=\"\" lang=\"EN-US\">Saturday, 5th December 2026<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Time bound grief models focus on a temporal sequence of shock, protest, despair, reorganisation, leading ultimately to acceptance. This can lead to the idea that acceptance is required for healthy resolution, and if acceptance does not occur, the pathologizing idea that a neurotic state exists. Many parents of children\/adults with learning and\/or physical disabilities are judged on whether or not they have \u2018accepted\u2019 the reality of their child\u2019s disabilities. There are differences for parents and siblings, as well as the individuals themselves. The person is still there, and times of \u2018acceptance\u2019 may come and then go again. And each time the grief may feel as raw as it did first time round. This day will focus mainly on the impact of chronic sorrow as it relates to those who have loved ones with learning and\/or physical disabilities, and those individuals themselves. We will also explore how chronic sorrow can affect any of us, depending on the kind of loss we have experienced, through chronic illness, divorce, loss of a child and much more.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text]<a href=\"mailto:jan@janhawkins.co.uk?subject=Chronic Sorrow\" target=\"_self\" data-hover-background-color=#ff680a data-hover-color=#ffffff class=\"qbutton  medium\" style=\"color: #ffffff; margin: 30px auto; background-color: #fe8a40;\">Enquire<\/a>[\/vc_column][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1696231437293{margin-top: 100px !important;margin-bottom: 50px !important;}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">OnlineEvents Webinars to purchase and\/or view:<\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section_slide=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1696231427237{margin-bottom: 50px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_inner el_class=&#8221;center-my-button&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3>Trauma, Dissociation and the Person-Centred Approach Workshop with Jan Hawkins<\/h3>\n<h4>Feb 2023<\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text]<a href=\"https:\/\/www.courses-onlinevents.co.uk\/courses\/trauma-dissociation-and-the-person-centred-approach-workshop-with-jan-hawkins?ref=c7b0a0\" target=\"_blank\" data-hover-background-color=#ff680a data-hover-color=#ffffff class=\"qbutton  medium\" style=\"color: #ffffff; margin: 30px auto; background-color: #fe8a40;\">Read More<\/a>[\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=&#8221;center-my-button&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3>The Impact of Trauma at Different Developmental Stages: A PCA Perspective Workshop with Jan Hawkins<\/h3>\n<h4>Apr 2023<\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text]<a href=\"https:\/\/www.courses-onlinevents.co.uk\/courses\/the-impact-of-trauma-at-different-developmental-stages-a-pca-perspective-workshop-with-jan-hawkins?ref=c7b0a0\" target=\"_blank\" data-hover-background-color=#ff680a data-hover-color=#ffffff class=\"qbutton  medium\" style=\"color: #ffffff; margin: 30px auto; background-color: #fe8a40;\">Read More<\/a>[\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner el_class=&#8221;center-my-button&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3>Necessary and Sufficient?

Some therapeutic traditions refer to \u2018plural selves\u2019, multiplicity, Internal Family Systems \u2013 more recent modalities refer to \u2018parts work\u2019 and in the Person-Centred world to \u2018configurations of self\u2019. Each are describing those roles we play where our behaviours and feelings can be different. The person we are in our working lives can feel and behave very differently from the person we are within our families. This workshop will invite participants to explore those inner dimensions in a fun way.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">There is a potency for healing available in fairy tales, myths and stories. Certain stories grip us, whilst others leave us cold. The story of Winnie the Pooh can be rediscovered in many ways, one of which is reflecting on our own inner landscapes, and aspects of ourselves. This day will allow personal reflection on inner states and characters as they relate to Christopher Robin and friends. Whether you have read the books before, or never even heard of Winnie the Pooh (impossible!!) \u2013 This is a day for a light hearted exploration with potential treasures to be found. A day for personal reflection and fun! Who knows where it might take us?! The day will take place at Debden House, (address above)with a beautiful garden, and 50 acres of woodland outside. The perfect setting to meet Winnie the Pooh and his friends.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">This workshop will finish at 4.00pm with half an hour break for refreshments. Weather permitting, those who have chosen group or individual walks before dinner will take those, whilst those who have chosen an encounter opportunity will also choose whether that will be inside or outside and for a space of up to two hours pre dinner.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">After dinner space for socializing, rest and appreciating the outdoors.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; offset=&#8221;vc_hidden-lg vc_hidden-md vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;538&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1680260936111{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}&#8221; qode_css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><span class=\"\" lang=\"EN-US\">Sunday 10am<br \/>\n<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"\" lang=\"EN-US\">Anxiety and Dissociation: Creative Survival<br \/>\n<\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Where there is chronic abuse in childhood, many learn to survive by dissociating from the experience. This may involve leaving the body, numbing out, splitting off, depersonalising and\/or derealising. This day will focus on what dissociation is, how it acts as a somewhat protective strategy, and how we may empower individuals who may be experiencing dissociation now. Having explored our own configurations of self with Winnie the Pooh, we will have seen dissociation as part of human experience, and this will help in understanding when trauma has taken people into deeper realms of dissociative experiencing. Whereas Saturday was a personal development day, today brings us to a professional focus where we seek to deepen our ability to come alongside those who have survived trauma by developing entrenched ways of being in the world which were creative survival strategies. Recognising and supporting our clients who live with dissociative experiencing and\/or Dissociative Identity Experience (I prefer this term to DID, Dissociative Identity Disorder) requires deepening of our core attitudinal qualities, by learning more about these complex survival skills.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>We finish the day at 4.00pm, refreshments are served and we vacate Debden House by 5.00pm<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section_slide=&#8221;no&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_inner el_class=&#8221;center-my-button&#8221; offset=&#8221;vc_hidden-lg vc_hidden-md vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs&#8221;]<a href=\"mailto:jan@janhawkins.co.uk?subject=Foundation for the Developing Person\" target=\"_self\" data-hover-background-color=#ff680a data-hover-color=#ffffff class=\"qbutton  medium\" style=\"color: #ffffff; margin: 30px auto; background-color: #fe8a40;\">Enquire<\/a>[\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;grid&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1602144793764{padding-top: 150px !important;padding-bottom: 75px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1680771825902{margin-top: 30px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;max-width-500&#8243;]<a href=\"https:\/\/www.heartwoodcharity.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter \" src=\"https:\/\/static.wixstatic.com\/media\/20f181_6849019f13ac4c71be99c5585ba94de5~mv2.png\/v1\/fill\/w_250,h_226,al_c,q_85,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_auto\/20f181_6849019f13ac4c71be99c5585ba94de5~mv2.png\" width=\"179\" height=\"162\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.heartwoodcharity.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Heartwood<\/a> is a wonderful Person-Centred charity headed up by Chip Ponsford and Rab Erskine working therapeutically in nature &#8211; do check out their website. \u00a0Heart Wood offers residential CPD training courses in the Heart Wood approach, and facilitated wellbeing days for staff teams.\u00a0To find out more about their programme, please contact Emma at\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:admin@heartwoodcharity.org\" data-auto-recognition=\"true\">admin@heartwoodcharity.org<\/a>\u00a0or call 01434 607726.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;full_width&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; el_id=&#8221;publications&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1602597231937{padding-top: 150px !important;padding-bottom: 50px !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Publications<\/h2>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;grid&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1602597282025{padding-bottom: 20px !important;background-color: #ffffff !important;}&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243; el_class=&#8221;center-my-button&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;378&#8243; img_size=&#8221;medium&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; onclick=&#8221;custom_link&#8221; img_link_target=&#8221;_blank&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1602597682453{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}&#8221; qode_css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; link=&#8221;https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/Collateral-Damage-Casualties-Alcohol-Anthology\/dp\/1659066395\/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&amp;keywords=Collateral+Damage%3A+Casualties+of+Alcohol+Misuse%3A+An+Anthology&amp;qid=1602597620&amp;sr=8-1&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Collateral Damage: Casualties of Alcohol Misuse: An Anthology<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Paperback \u2013 17 Jan. 2020<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">This anthology contains chapters written by individuals who have been affected by loving\/caring about someone close, whose use of alcohol has impacted on the relationship. There is so much literature focusing on the experience of alcohol addiction or dependency in the medical and professional helper material, but scant attention given to those who live with and\/or are affected by the person whose drinking is causing harm. Those who have given their time to this project have done so using their own voices. This gives the collection a variety of styles which provides the reader with a wide set of experiences. The editor is eager to encourage writing as a therapeutic option when processing painful experiences, especially where the individuals are unable &#8211; due to their loved one&#8217;s alcohol misuse &#8211; to have the open dialogue which might help them. Sadly in all the cases presented herein, the contributors are left to manage the effects of another person&#8217;s departure into a different world, a person they have loved and cared for. For those who love someone who misuses alcohol, this book will offer company. The contributors have shared experiences they have previously found impossible to talk about. Readers may find themselves in these stories, and as a result, feel less lonely.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text]<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/Collateral-Damage-Casualties-Alcohol-Anthology\/dp\/1659066395\/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&amp;keywords=Collateral+Damage%3A+Casualties+of+Alcohol+Misuse%3A+An+Anthology&amp;qid=1602597620&amp;sr=8-1\" target=\"_blank\" data-hover-background-color=#ff680a data-hover-color=#ffffff class=\"qbutton  medium\" style=\"color: #ffffff; margin: 30px auto; background-color: #fe8a40;\">Buy Now<\/a>[\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243; el_class=&#8221;center-my-button&#8221;][vc_single_image image=&#8221;372&#8243; img_size=&#8221;medium&#8221; alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; onclick=&#8221;custom_link&#8221; img_link_target=&#8221;_blank&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1602597153557{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}&#8221; qode_css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; link=&#8221;https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/Listening-their-Voices-Person-Centred-Approach\/dp\/1979960992\/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&amp;keywords=Listening+to+their+Voices%3A+The+Person-Centred+Approach+to+Autistic+Spectrum+Disorder&amp;qid=1602596634&amp;sr=8-1&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center;\">Listening to their Voices: The Person-Centred Approach to Autistic Spectrum Disorder<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Paperback \u2013 17 Dec. 2017<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">This book includes verbatim interview contributions from individuals who have ASD, their parents, siblings, and some professionals.

Although the effects of learning difficulties and the effects of society&#8217;s treatment of people with learning difficulties are lifelong and often severe, counselling and healing are possible. The author argues that even those people who have the most severe learning disabilities can benefit from counselling, and not simply from behaviour management or medication to manage and control them. Jan Hawkins integrates 15 years&#8217; experience of counselling and her 25 years&#8217; experience as a mother of a person with learning difficulties. The book contains many moving accounts of the healing process and detailed examples of interdisciplinary working and the power the Person-Centred Approach offers for those who are metaphorically and often literally voiceless.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text]<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.co.uk\/Voices-Voiceless-Person-Centred-Approaches-Difficulties\/dp\/1898059411\/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&amp;keywords=Voices+of+the+Voiceless%3A+Person-Centred+Approaches+for+People+with+Learning+Difficulties&amp;qid=1602597477&amp;sr=8-1\" target=\"_blank\" data-hover-background-color=#ff680a data-hover-color=#ffffff class=\"qbutton  medium\" style=\"color: #ffffff; margin: 30px auto; background-color: #fe8a40;\">Buy Now<\/a>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_type=&#8221;row&#8221; use_row_as_full_screen_section=&#8221;no&#8221; type=&#8221;grid&#8221; text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; background_image=&#8221;320&#8243; padding_top=&#8221;120&#8243; padding_bottom=&#8221;100&#8243; css_animation=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column]<div class='testimonials_holder clearfix light '><div class=\"testimonials testimonials_carousel\" data-show-navigation=\"yes\" data-animation-type=\"fade\" data-animation-speed=\"\" data-auto-rotate-slides=\"10\"><ul class=\"slides\"><li id=\"testimonials438\" class=\"testimonial_content\"><div class=\"testimonial_content_inner\"><div class=\"testimonial_text_holder center_align\"><div class=\"testimonial_text_inner\"><p>Collateral Damage<br\/><br\/>\r\n\"Jan Hawkins' decision to let the contributors (victims) choose the style for their chapters promotes originality and allows them to express themselves freely.
