Current workshop
Applying metaphors in CBT modalities
October 2026A one-day professional workshop dedicated to the practical use of metaphors across different cognitive-behavioural therapy modalities. Metaphors help clients understand complex psychological processes in a simpler, more vivid and emotionally accessible way.
During the workshop, participants will get to know and learn more than 150 carefully selected therapeutic metaphors, as well as ways to apply them in practice when working with children, adolescents and adults.
The workshop includes demonstrations, experiential exercises, clinical examples, and guidance that allows participants to apply what they’ve learned straight away in their own therapeutic practice.
02
What can you expect?
The workshops combine up-to-date research findings, practical demonstrations, experiential exercises, analysis of clinical examples, and active discussion.
The goal isn’t just acquiring new knowledge, but developing concrete skills that can be applied straight away in your work with clients.

Certificate of attendance
After completing the workshop, participants receive a personalised certificate of attendance clearly stating the name of the workshop, the date it was held, and the number of training hours completed.
The workshops are designed to support therapists’ continuing professional development, and can form a valuable part of the process of ongoing training and reaccreditation.

How workshops are run
Workshops are organised both in person and online, depending on the programme. The number of participants is often limited to allow for quality engagement, interaction, and enough room for questions and discussion.

Participant experiences
Brief experiences from various workshops.
The workshop on values and goals was extremely useful for me, because the theory was immediately linked to concrete exercises. I came away with clear tools for working with clients who feel lost or unmotivated.
The workshop on the first session helped me better structure the start of the therapeutic process. I got concrete questions, guidance and ideas for making the first meeting clearer and safer for the client.
What mattered most to me was that the workshop wasn’t just a lecture, but practical work. Through demonstrations and examples, it was much easier to understand how to translate theory into an actual therapy session.
The topic of compassion in therapeutic work was presented in a warm, clear and applicable way. I found it especially useful in understanding how to help clients develop a more supportive relationship with themselves.
The workshop on metaphors opened up a completely new way of thinking about therapeutic interventions for me. I came away with a large number of concrete metaphors and a clearer sense of when to use them.
I especially liked the combination of expertise, clarity and a relaxed atmosphere. The workshop was concrete, while still being deep enough to prompt reflection on my own therapeutic style.
The workshop on goals helped me better distinguish surface-level goals from values-oriented work. Especially useful when working with clients who want change but aren’t sure which direction they want to go in.
I liked that every exercise had a clear purpose and explanation of how it could be used in therapy. After the workshop I felt I could apply several new interventions straight away.
The workshop on the first session was especially important to me, because it offered structure without being a rigid format. I came away with ideas for better establishing rapport and laying the foundations of the therapeutic relationship.
The greatest value of these workshops is how practical they are. I always come away with concrete examples, clear guidance, and a sense that I can use what I’ve learned straight away in my therapeutic practice.
Continuous learning
Every workshop is designed with the goal that participants gain knowledge and skills they can apply straight away in their professional work.
The best learning happens when theory becomes practice.
