REFLECTIONS FROM PAST PARTICIPANTS:

Completing the Open Dialogue training with Judith has been invaluable. The training reconnected me with the importance of ‘being with’ clients (rather than getting caught in the ‘doing to’). It provided me with deep and meaningful insights into myself as a psychologist (and human) that will continue to help my practice. Whenever I complete a training with Judith, it is like coming home to the essence of why I am a psychologist.’

‘There was enough difference in the presentation and participation that created a flow of information that could be discerned and confirmed and which energised understanding. I really enjoyed, and felt connected to the group and process of the two days .... I have felt a kind-of-reset from the experience which has led to more clarity and openness ...'

‘The clinical intensive was a great opportunity to consolidate and reflect on dialogical practice. The days were well paced with plenty of time to slow down and let your mind connect ideas from early trainings as well as practicing through roles play and other exercises with the group. The group process worked really well and Judith created a safe environment to share and practice together.’
