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.

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.

This training is for Professionals and Trainees wanting to enrich their current knowledge, understanding and skills in their work with addictions and dependency issues.
In a highly experiential training, you will learn a tried and tested Contemporary model that unifies the main psychotherapeutic approaches, as diverse as Counselling, CBT, 12 Step and Motivational Interviewing, into the core conceptual and intervention commonalities that support recovery from substance addiction (drugs and alcohol) and process dependency, (such as sex and gambling). The training explores these applications in both group and individual therapy settings and the therapist’s role in the dependency matrix.
