Academy of Advanced Changework
(Karen Bartle)
Location: Zoom
 

Ref No: 2827
Avoidant Coping - Managing Withdrawal and Low Engagement
Live Online 3hr CPD Workshop for Mental Health Professionals
Date TBC
£50
Course Overview:
This 3-hour interactive training workshop supports compassionate mental health professionals to work more effectively with clients who appear disengaged, withdrawn, ambivalent, or unmotivated. Rather than treating avoidance as resistance or lack of effort, the workshop introduces a psychologically informed framework that understands avoidance as a threat-based protection response.
Participants will learn how perceived safety, nervous-system regulation, and relational dynamics directly shape engagement and motivation. The focus is practical, ethical, and clinically grounded — helping attendees recognise early signs of withdrawal, prevent relational ruptures, and restore engagement without pressure or confrontation.
What will this training give participants?
• A clearer understanding of why avoidance and disengagement occur in therapy
• Practical ways to reduce defensiveness and increase psychological safety in session
• Greater confidence responding to missed appointments, ambivalence, humour, or shutdown
• Skills to repair subtle relational ruptures before engagement is lost
• Tools you can apply immediately to support motivation without pushing or persuading
Teaching Methods:
This training is delivered live online and uses a mix of brief expert instruction, facilitated discussion, live demonstration, and supported practice. Participants engage in guided reflection, clinical vignette work, and practical exercises, with debriefs to consolidate learning.
Downloadable worksheets and participant reference materials are provided to support integration into clinical practice.
Assessment/Evidence of Learning:
Learning is evidenced through active participation in guided reflection activities, clinical discussion, and practical exercises during this live workshop. Engagement in skills practice demonstrates attainment of learning objectives.
Learning objectives:
Evaluate avoidance and disengagement as threat-based protective responses within a clinical context.
Identify and assess observable indicators of withdrawal and low engagement in therapy.
Demonstrate strategies that increase psychological safety and reduce client defensiveness.
Apply and evaluate techniques to respond to ambivalence and repair relational ruptures, supporting sustained engagement.
Participants receive a statement of attendance for 3 CPD hours.
About the Presenter:
Karen Bartle is a postgraduate in Health Psychology, Advanced Clinical Hypnotherapist, clinical supervisor, co-founder of the Academy of Advanced Changework, founder of HealthTalk Psychology, and co-author of The Advanced Hypnotherapist.
For over 25 years, Karen has worked with individuals, caregivers, and health professionals navigating behavioural, lifestyle, and psychosocial challenges. She has seen first-hand how caring practitioners can feel stuck when empathy, education, coaching and even motivational interviewing can’t shift engagement — and how reframing avoidance can transform therapeutic outcomes.
Karen’s teaching style blends clinical depth with clarity and compassion. She is known for translating complex psychological concepts into language practitioners can use immediately, and for creating learning environments that feel safe, reflective, and practical.
Who is the course for?
This training is designed for compassionate mental health professionals who care deeply but feel stuck with a proportion of their clients who withdraw, shutdown, disengage, or struggle to follow through.
It is especially suited to practitioners working with anxiety, shame, overwhelm, health behaviour change, or ambivalence around change.

Confident Me DLP by Helen Breward
Distance Learning
Special Price £67
On a scale of 1 to 10, how high is your confidence? This is often a question I ask clients. So, out of curiosity just ask yourself what your number is.
I have found over the years, with probably 99% of client’s, confidence is usually low and needs a boost in some way. Some clients come for sessions solely focused on improving their confidence because it is stopping them being who they want to be, affecting their life or career in some way that has become unacceptable to them.
As you probably already know, confidence is one of our foundations as a person that can affect our lives in many ways. Having good tools and methods to use with these clients can make a massive difference to them.
Knowing how to help and having resources to hand has been invaluable over the years. This is why I have created a programme focussed raising confidence.
The course contains
Confident Me Manual
Background Information (What is confidence, comfort zone, self-esteem & self-image)
How to handle that initial enquiry
Scripts for 3 sessions
CPD Certificate
1 hour video call with Helen Breward
As always, I want to help you help your clients to raise their confidence, so that they can have the life they want & deserve. So, with that in mind, this downloadable distance learning course is on offer for GHR members for the special price of £67. Confident Me, working with confidence is available on my website for £127. Take advantage of this while you can.

Hypnotherapy CPD for Confidence CPD: 10 Hours
Distance Learning
£130
This is an in-depth course on confidence. I am author of The Power of Confidence, my second book, which provides insights to many areas of confidence. The course includes a couple of extracts from this book.
So many people are impacted by a lack of confidence, which makes this such an important area of knowledge in your practitioner handbook. This course contains many of the techniques and principles I use in my own work.
Along with 11 scripts, the course includes use of Emotional Freedom Technique in a basic form. You do not need any prior knowledge of this technique. I guide on how to personalise scripts for your client using some simple tweaks.
We use some neuro-linguistic programming so you can tailor your therapy for your client and their specific needs. All is explained so again, no prior understanding needed.
Bonus: I will provide you with my ‘Confidence Workbook” which I hand to clients to complete at home. This can provide you with some valuable information and goal setting, as well as help your clients acknowledge their achievements
Contents:
11 Scripts including a specific confidence induction and outduction
Events which can impact confidence
Components of confidence
Confidence and our belief system
SMART Goals
