If you’re a counsellor or psychotherapist, CPD is something you’ll be doing throughout your professional life. So today we have special guest John Wilson from Onlinevents who knows a thing or two about training and CPD. 

A psychotherapist since 2005, he’s also a trainer at Temenos and has run Onlinevents with his sister for 10 years.

Onlinevents provides a vast range of varied CPD activities for counsellors and psychotherapists, from interviews with specialists, trainers and authors to interactive workshops. 

Today he shares some of his vast experience to help us get the most out of the CPD we consume.

• Where would you recommend a newly qualified counsellor start with CPD?
• The benefits of ‘dipping your toe in’ with different training and trainers before you commit to a larger piece of training
• How there’s more to training than just learning
• The importance of personal development for both you and your client work.
