CPD 1.5 hours

PEAT Outcome - Relevant legal knowledge

OBJECTIVES

Anxiety is an increasingly common human experience, particularly prevalent in these uncertain times. In this webinar, Dr Amber Keenan will help the delegate develop a greater awareness of anxiety and how it may present in the legal setting. You will gain a greater understanding of the psychological underpinnings of anxiety, the processes that maintain it, and how behaviour is affected. You will develop your skills in recognising anxiety in your clients, allowing you to anticipate difficulties that may arise. You will be given practical tips and techniques for managing anxious clients, improving working relationships and increasing the likelihood of positive outcomes. The session will also encourage the delegate to consider their own anxiety, how this impacts upon their relationship with their clients and how to reduce it.
