Bespoke Staff Training | Kate Williams Therapy

Bespoke staff training

If you are seeking wellbeing, personal growth or CPD workshops for your staff then please get in touch.

I can tailor workshops to the needs of your team offering my popular online 1 or 1.5 hour workshops, up to a whole day's training ether online or in person.

My workshops are interactive, include informative slides, offering small break out spaces for peer connection and integration of learning. My teaching style is experiential so all workshops have exercises to explore and experience the topics.

I've enjoyed delivering CPD and wellbeing workshops to the NHS (over 50 workshops delivered), Road Victims Trust, Choices, The Sadie Centre and BACP online hub.

Staff wellbeing workshops

I enjoy supporting staff in the helping professions to pause and take time out to reflect and consider their needs.

My workshops range from guided breathwork sessions to more informative workshops that blend theory, psychology and exercises. Participants often come away restored with ideas to implement for self-care.

"Kate is unique amongst her peers in what she offers and has a diverse skill-set that she draws upon in her range of workshops from Polyvagal theory to somatic body-work, through to Jungian analysis and drawing on archetypes as a vehicle for personal change and transformation. When you are in a workshop with Kate you feel in very safe hands and the depth of her knowledge and experience is very evident.Every time we have commissioned Kate to run staff workshops to support wellness and recovery, the dates have become fully subscribed in less than 2 weeks.

We originally commissioned Kate to run bespoke workshops aimed at health, care and voluntary sector staff during the Covid-19 pandemic, many of whom have been struggling with trauma, stress and burn-out...

...We chose Kate because her work is trauma-informed and she works with the latest evidence-based research in trauma recovery methods.

Staff from across the NHS, local government and social care have enjoyed coming together in these sessions to learn new approaches to support their mental health and new ideas that might also support their service users and patients. They have also benefitted from the peer support on offer during the workshops, and these have worked as effectively via Zoom as they would in person. I would not hesitate to recommend working with Kate and your staff will thank you for it"
