TRAINING
An 8-week intensive behavioural programme
Our placement therapists need to deliver behavioural therapies, so we require trainees to pass an 8-week training in functional analysis, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Functional Analytic Psychotherapy (FAP). Find out more about the types of therapy we specialise in.
This training is delivered by the UK's only certified FAP trainer, Tien Kuei. It's intense and rigorous, with a special emphasis on experiential in-session therapeutic processes, so be prepared to dive deep to super-charge your ability as an agent for change.
This will suit volunteers who are eager to learn, and most importantly be courageously self-reflective and compassionate.
If you want to join the behavioural training without the placement, then please email us.
