Bill Hard
Course Leader of Creating Connection Online
Introduction
When the NCHP Stage 1 was being redesigned, Bill was our first port of call. When COVID-19 forced the NCHP training to move online, again Bill was instrumental in the re-design. The reason is twofold – his extraordinary ability to create human connection, and his deeply intuitive understanding of the mechanics and subtleties of creating and maintaining effective therapeutic relationships.
That expertise has now been tailored specifically for the ‘new normal’ of working remotely face-to-face, and is available to you.
If you are a therapist, trainee or student that struggles with the idea of delivering effective therapy via online platforms, or you want to develop your existing online practice, then this is the course for you.
An experiential two-day workshop to help your online therapy work become more effective and satisfying.
Develop your confidence and gain skills with this way of working.
What You Need to Know:
Topics included in this workshop include:
- Establishing a felt connection online
- Effective inductions online – how to use and or modify your favourite inductions for this format, plus explore some that may be new to you
- Structuring sessions online – timing, rhythm and pacing are different and important for this format and we will be exploring this in depth
- Bringing a grounded presence to the online situation – practical mindfulness techniques for you and your client
- Exploring our own process around this area – what is the nature of the online encounter? How is it different to the live situation?

On-line therapy is here to stay, whether you intend to complement your live-setting therapy or intend to be mostly, or wholly available online, this workshop will give you the tools to develop confidence and create your own approach.
