Trainer: Louise Coates, Consultant Forensic Psychologist

Workshop Description:

Many forensic practitioners are keen to use ST but feel daunted at the prospect of potentially opening up something they and their patient can’t handle, or that it won’t be effective due to the level of trauma, mode severity or systemic factors.

This workshop has been designed with these needs in mind. Over the course of the day you will be equipped with core skills and resources in:

  • Understanding the Evidence Base and What We Know Works
  • Formulating Forensic Modes, their Origins, Functions and Unmet Needs
  • Forging an Alliance with the Healthy Adult
  • Working with the Therapy Relationship
  • Applying Core ST Methods with Forensic Modes
  • Thriving within Difficult Organisations
  • Understanding our Modes and Valuing our Needs
  • Building a Personal Self-Care Plan and Finding the Right Support

The workshop is also highly interactive with a balance of teaching, experiential work and skills training, including video and live demonstration. It is suitable for anyone who has previously attended an introductory schema therapy workshop but also for those who are more experienced in ST.

About the trainer: Louise Coates (Consultant Forensic Psychologist) has extensive experience of using schema therapy in forensic settings, developing trauma-led services and also supervising and training forensic psychologists. Louise is a former Committee Member of the BPS Division of Forensic Psychology and published widely in the field.
