WORKSHOPS
Public Workshops
When you attend a workshop at The Essence of You, you can expect psycho-education on the topic of the workshop you are attending, exploration around how that topic impacts you, and support to move towards a deeper self-connection and confidence as your authentic self.
Similarly to how Jen's Individual & Group Therapy Sessions work, you will be supported to increase your awareness of your thoughts and feelings, and to connect to your emotions and inner voice. Workshops are different from these because you will be encouraged to do more self-reflection, and while you will be guided in this by Jen, you will not be given direct questions and feedback in the same way that you would in an Individual or Group Therapy Session.
In our Interactive Workshops, Jen encourages safe connection and discussion amongst the participants to give opportunity for relating, sharing and deeper healing. Jen guides and direct all of her workshops in a way to promote a safe space and to help ensure that the goals of each participant are being met.
Jen has a special interest and training in Expressive Arts Therapy and often leans on this to help her clients with deeper connection and exploration of their issues (learn more about Jen here). Jen often uses some form of expressive arts therapy in her workshops depending on the needs of each participant in the group.
A variety of online & in-person workshops are held on a regular basis for you to use as a boost to your current therapy, an introduction to these topics, or for those who are not ready or unable to commit to regular therapy. Anyone who is already attending Individual or Group Therapy sessions are also welcome to join!
Private Workshops can be arranged for your own personal or professional group. See below.

Private Workshops
Private Psycho-educational Workshops can be arranged for your own personal or professional group either Online or In-Person.
1.
When you arrange a private workshop with Jen, you pay a set fee instead of the typical rate per person. This is for the workshop duration only, we do not charge extra for our time spent customizing the workshop content for you.
2.
You get to select your own group (you choose how many people, there is no minimum number and no limit!)
3.
You choose the topic. You are also welcome to request a different topic of your choice that is not listed to suit the needs of your private group! In the past we have merged different workshop topics together, and created entirely new workshops based on the needs of the participants.
Frequent workshop topics are listed below.
4.
You choose the duration, and you choose how you want the workshop to be presented - Online or In-Person.
Jen can present the workshop in an interactive format with space and time for questions and discussion, or it could be purely psycho-educational format with minimal interaction. (People do gain the most from the questions and interaction so we would encourage you to consider this, but it is your group and it is up to you!)
