About GLIMPSES Workshops

‘I hope that my GLIMPSES workshops will open people’s eyes, change attitudes and inspire others to experience the difference’

GLIMPSES Workshops for Therapists are specifically designed to meet the training and development needs of trainee and qualified counsellors and psychotherapists, counselling tutors and supervisors. Delivered in an informal, relaxed and student-centred way these experiential, interactive and awareness raising modules are suitable both for the novice trainee therapist who is just setting out on a journey of self-discovery and for the more experienced practitioner, who will be able to integrate new learning and self-awareness into their everyday life and work.

GLIMPSES are stimulating and thought-provoking workshops which are different to many other disability awareness courses in that each workshop aims to offer a unique personal insight into the challenges and opportunities of living, studying and working with sight loss and training to be a professional counsellor when you have a disability.
