CAMILLA GHAZALA

Camilla’s core values are encouragement, development, compassion, and fun! Camilla’s central approach is individual psychology, skillfully blended with CBT (waves 3 & 4), CFT, ACT, Shamanic Philosophy, IFS, IPT, expanded thinking, and creative and 3D methods, all beamed through a polyvagal-informed lens. NHS (since 2002, secondary & primary) in the Specialist Team (Long-Term Conditions) provides short-term development processing that enables grounded, safe growth that includes stability of emotional and psychological aspects of the self. Private practice (since 2000) provides a culture that enables the development and growth of internal relationships, relationships with others, the world, and beyond. Supervision from 2006. Process groups for GPs and medical professionals from 2020. As a personal growth catalyst & trainer (since 1983), Camilla has worked with a range of corporate, statutory, and charitable organisations, including lecturing on the BA/MA Integrative Counselling course and tutoring on the Adlerian Cert and Dip Cambridge. www.cgmott.com Dual-accredited: BACP & BABCP.

WORKSHOPS:

Module A: Navigating LIFE: the repetitive, the nurturing, the chaotic, the changes while maintaining our humour most of the time!

When part or more of us feel safe, connected, grounded, energised, and present, we have access to our wise mind, kind humour, and neurological flexibility, enabling us to navigate the range of experiences life presents. Adler teaches how we can learn (and therefore develop) more by observing how we manage life than by observing what we are managing. Using a blend of theoretical styles, we are reminding ourselves how we move ourselves in and out of feeling safe and considering how we may update patterns (private logic) that make our navigation of life trickier than it already is! This workshop includes a range of creative, somatic, cognitive, and fun exercises! (IP, Polyvagal, ACT, CFT, IPT).

Module C: Easing my path through inner knowledge and the Nature Wheel

Working outside (hopefully!) using a blend of IP & Shamanic philosophy, somatic exercises, and ancient practices, we are connecting to each season and direction (one each day) and identifying the essences, qualities, characteristics, and skills we have and that nature offers us. It is we who determine how these can be directed and used. When we can dip a toe (or more) into going with the flow, the complex path of life is eased a little.

STEPHEN ALLSOPP

Stephen retrained as a counsellor after a long career in IT, qualifying with a degree in Integrative Counselling in 2007. His experience as a trainer in IT was useful in his new career, and he began teaching on the Welsh Adlerian Certificate in 2011, eventually setting up a new Adlerian training organisation in 2022. Alongside that, he runs a GP surgery-based counselling organisation and works in private practice.

He is a musician, occasional comedian, and aspiring amateur actor. He lives in West Wales with a pair of mercenary rabbits. He is inordinately proud of the lifespan of his saucepans.

WORKSHOPS:

Module A: Change through an existential perspective

We will look through an existential lens at what change means to us, what challenges it presents, and how we can use the existential approach to facilitate lasting and effective change.

Module C: Fact or fiction—what really are my goals?

Exploring how we set goals for change and understanding where our fictional goals arise from.
