BOOKINGS, WORKSHOPS & PROGRAMME

MICHAEL FITZGERALD

My name is Michael Fitzgerald and I am an Adlerian Counsellor, Psychotherapist, Coaching Psychologist, Counsellor Trainer, and Yoga Teacher. When I am not with my wife and two children, I am hill walking, running, surfing or cycling. I find exercise very complimentary to mental health. It has been my passion to help people find the pathology for attending therapy, making deep, long-lasting change.

WORKSHOPS:

Module A: Adlerian Informed Trauma Work

Trauma comes up again and again in therapy. Adlerian therapy is uniquely positioned to help us deal with past traumas, whether they are in childhood or later in life. Adlerian psychotherapy is an eminently practical approach that finds balance in the form of seeking the encouraging corrective influences from the past and acknowledging the influence of the childhood solutions. In this experiential course, we will be travelling a journey of reflection to understand how to dissolve the influence of trauma.

Module C: Using Metaphors to Work Around Life Tasks: Work, Friendship and Intimacy

As social beings, our lives work best when we cooperate and are interested socially. How we manage our life’s tasks is a direct connection to the style of living our modus operandi. Give me the facts of a person's life, and I can see what they have done and are doing. Let me see the metaphor of how they live and I can understand the ‘Why’. In this experiential course, we will look at our own modus operandi to develop self-reflection to allow us to be better mirrors for others.

WORKSHOPS:

Module A: Bibliotherapy

Bibliotherapy is one form of expressive art therapy that involves texts. Literature in all its forms offers validation, support, information and guidance. It allows us intuitively to make a bridge in our minds that helps us understand ourselves.

The participants will be asked to bring stories/poems/lyrics from their different life stations and write something they wish to share about themselves according to a chosen topic. In the workshop, we will create a dialogue between the texts and give an Adlerian perspective.

Module C: Self-awareness

The lifelong journey of understanding oneself is endless, and this workshop, based on the profound principles of Adlerian Psychology, offers a meaningful step along that path. Designed to help participants gain deeper insights into their life patterns, relationships, and personal goals, the workshop applies the lens of Individual Psychology to guide participants through a process of self-discovery and growth.

She is also co-chair of ASIIP Council. In her private life, Nina enjoys choral singing and is a devoted Nanna to 7 grandchildren.

WORKSHOP:

Module C: Betwixt and Between - Exploring Liminal Space

Sometimes in life we find ourselves in a place of transition between the end of one thing and the beginning of something else. This can be a disorienting and uncomfortable place, this place of betwixt and between. In this experiential and creative workshop, we will explore through the lens of Adlerian theory how we move through this liminal space, the space between what we leave behind and what is to come.
