From September 2009, the Practice Groups for CCP members will be replaced by CLINICAL PRACTICE GROUPS.

Feedback has shown us that the widest held desire from this slot is a Clinical Practice Group, with specific reference to the Case Studies requirement for Registration. These peer-lead groups will provide a supplement to, not a replacement of, peoples’ existing Clinical Supervision and are intended to fulfil peoples’ thirst for ongoing modality specific discussion and support, relevant to their case studies and research ideas.

Note: Attendance can be counted as Continuing Professional Development. It is your responsibility to obtain a signature from the Group Leader on your CPD Log.

A subsidised fee of £7 per session will be charged to participants. Each session will have a nominated group facilitator.

These groups are for CCP members only. Booking is not necessary, but places are limited, and are prioritized for those on the Clinical Practice unit of the Diploma or on the Advanced Diploma.

From September 2009, the Research Interest Groups for CCP members will be re-branded as RESEARCH STUDY GROUPS

The change of name for this service is to emphasise that the purpose of the groups is to support trainee and accredited psychotherapists to meet their Masters level study and project requirements in research for Registration as a Psychotherapist with BeeLeaf and UKCP.

To this end, we will be bringing in two experienced researchers as new Group Leaders with a variety of experience in NHS and other sites of psychotherapy research, offering support of a range of research methods and studies relevant to psychotherapy, and with a passion to support Psychotherapists to learn about and achieve credible research in their field, with a view to publication in relevant journals.

The core themes of the RSGs will be the projects and proposals of trainees and members. Suggested research papers for group study will usually be nominated by trainees as relevant to their projects. Group Leaders will also be available to advise and reassure regarding the steps to complete a proposal and project and to facilitate peer support and discussion in these endeavours.

Note: Attendance can be counted as Continuing Professional Development. It is your responsibility to obtain a signature from the Group Leader on your CPD Log.

These groups are for CCP members only. Booking is not necessary, however in order to fully participate in the group, participants will be expected to read before arrival the paper under discussion, which will be circulated to all CCP members and posted on the Research e-forum.

Research Interest Group meetings are for any CCP members who are are working towards completing the Research Module of the Advanced Diploma, or if you’re just interested in finding out about what’s involved.

The meetings are led by Dr Tom Werner, and they are held on Saturday morning about once a month on the 6th floor of the Physics Building, Queen Mary University of London (near Mile End station). We start at 9.00am so that the assistants from the BeeLeaf Intermediate Course have time to join us. You can find further details on our Community page and on our online forum.

Practice Group meetings are a great way to refresh your knowledge and practice your skills, and at the same time enjoy a lively discussion and sharing of experience with other CCP members travelling along the same path.

For full details of topics and presenters for each meeting, just go to our Community page. Here you’ll also find full details of our venue, on the 6th floor of the Physics Building, Queen Mary University of London (near Mile End station), which we share with the BeeLeaf Foundation Course.

This course provides a wide-ranging and thought-provoking introduction to the rapidly developing field of human development, including the development and expression of human sexuality. The course is a core component of the BeeLeaf Advanced Diploma in Contemporary Psychotherapy, and it will also be invaluable to anyone working in a therapeutic setting.
