Monday 28 April 2025 One day workshop YSJU campus 9.30 am - 4.30 pm


This workshop will explore:
* the changes that happen to a young person’s brain during their adolescent development process
* the new theory of tenuous contact: what is this theory and what it means for counsellors working with adolescent clients
* how the theory of tenuous contact connects with the person centred approach, especially in terms of psychological contact and the therapeutic relationship.
We will use client examples to illustrate how this theory links to counselling practice.
