UNDERSTANDING THE INNER CRITIC
The inner critic is a deeply embedded voice that holds many clients back. It undermines confidence, fuels perfectionism and self-doubt and stops growth in its tracks. For counsellors and coaches, helping clients untangle this voice can be challenging, especially when it is rooted in formative experiences and reinforced by external pressures. Without structured tools, even experienced practitioners can find it difficult to guide clients through the internal barriers this voice creates.
TOOLS TO SHIFT THE INNER DIALOGUE FOR CLIENTS AND YOU
This workshop equips participants with practical theory-informed tools that can be integrated directly into therapeutic work. You will learn how to help clients recognise, categorise and reframe critical inner dialogue using structured techniques such as the Voice Template and the 13-Step Grey Voice Defence Process. Drawing on frameworks including CBT, Narrative Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy, the session offers clear guidance on how to disrupt negative thought patterns and build pathways to self-compassion.
PRACTICAL APPLICATION AND PROFESSIONAL GROWTH
Whether you are a trainee or a qualified professional, this session provides a comprehensive learning experience through structured teaching, collaborative discussion and a guided workbook. You will leave with adaptable client templates, ready-to-use strategies and a deeper understanding of how to work with the inner critic in real-world practice.
