Counselling students across different years were treated to two guest lectures at the same time! These guest speakers provided invaluable insights into mindfulness and systemic family psychotherapy.
Third-year students attended an engaging session with mindfulness expert Miro Cansky in room 116, exploring techniques to promote self-awareness and emotional well-being. The session allowed students to deepen their understanding of mindfulness practices, which are increasingly essential in therapeutic settings.
Meanwhile, second-year students worked with systemic family psychotherapist Paul Kelly in rooms 114/5. Paul guided students through creating and interpreting genograms, a vital tool for mapping family dynamics and understanding complex relationships. The hands-on exercise provided students with practical skills to support their academic and professional development.
