Training

Professional Development

To support ongoing lifelong professional learning or continuous professional development for mental health care practitioners we offer various learning opportunities.

Clinical Supervision

We offer comprehensive clinical supervision for the primary psychotherapy procedures of diagnosis or psychological assessment, which includes psychological or psychometric testing, and treatment or psychotherapy.
(Only intern-psychologists and psychologists)

Workshops

We provide in-depth training, in the form of workshops, relevant to the multi-disciplinary practice of mental health care, treatment, and rehabilitation. (Only mental health care practitioners, including psychologists, intern-psychologists, registered counsellors, psychiatrists, medical practitioners, occupational therapists, or social workers, who have been trained to provide prescribed mental health care, treatment, and rehabilitation services.)

Interactional Pattern Analysis (IPA)

Interactional Pattern Analysis was inspired and developed by Charl Vorster and it is a groundbreaking procedure for diagnosis in psychotherapy, altogether different from earlier approaches within the field of mental health. It provides a completely new approach, which is easy to apply and retains the essential uniqueness of the individual, and a very systematic and orderly procedure that takes the “guesswork” out of psychotherapy. This in-depth workshop is for Registered Counsellors, Social Workers, Psychiatrists, Psychologists, and Interns.

Interactional Couple Therapy

Interactional Couple therapy, which is based on the interactional approach, is an innovative, dynamic development in the field of marital and family therapy, quite unlike many other approaches. It offers a new lens, which is easily learned and a safe, non-threatening way for couples to relate, and at the same time a structured and systematic procedure that places the couple at the centre of the psychotherapeutic process.

Hypnosis | Hypnotherapy

A special area of interest of our training involves workshops on different aspects of multi-disciplinary Hypnosis | Hypnotherapy, including, for example, the utilization of hypnosis in daily practice, its utilization in the management of pain, and its utilization in the stimulation of hypermnesia or regression, namely, abnormally vivid or complete memory recall, to identify and understand antecedents of behaviour.

What Others Are Saying

A very unique learning experience. The experiential nature of the learning, coupled with plenty of space for deep reflection and discussion, made the learning experience incredibly rich. The sequence of the learning was masterful. I feel that hypnosis was expertly de-mystified and its application in psychotherapy was made abundantly clear. Enough time was given to looking at how hypnosis works and how to effectively facilitate it in an incredibly person-centred way. Warwick is a master teacher and has led me into the world of hypnosis with passion, insight, care and great skill.

My experience was enlightening and really challenged me into a different way of thinking and integrating hypnosis into a therapeutic space. It has opened up room for so much of creativity and possibility for the work that I do with clients. It has de-mystified my understanding of hypnosis and interestingly, it intrigues me more than when I started the course/training. The pace felt a bit slow between day one and three, and picked up thereafter. Overall, thoroughly enjoyable and I feel confident to utilise hypnosis when I leave this training.

Warwick created a safe nurturing space and environment where learning, self growth and knowledge were effectively facilitated. I highly recommend the workshop and the time spent on the workshop.

This course has been a profound experience filled with a deep level of introspection, self-awareness and a high level of theoretical and practical skills. Dr Phipps is a highly skilled professional that facilitated the course with deepened empathy, intellect and patience. A highly recommendable hypnotherapy course facilitated profoundly by Dr Phipps. “We live to heal, but we heal to live.” Thank you Dr Phipps and respected colleagues for the experience.

If I knew then, what I know now...

Every person on this earth is full of great possibilities that can be realised through imagination, effort, and perseverance.
