At Renew Counselling and Training, we understand that choosing the right training is a deeply personal decision. You might already be working with young people in some capacity and wanting to expand your expertise, or perhaps you’re at the beginning of your journey, drawn to working with younger clients because you feel their voices deserve to be understood and respected.
This July, we’re honoured to welcome child and adolescent psychiatrist and author Dr Sami Timimi to our Celebration Day at Renew. Known for his challenges to conventional mental health thinking and his belief in the power of relationships, Dr Timimi’s work has so many parallels with our ethos at Renew.
Ahead of his talk, we asked about the ideas that shaped his thinking – from challenging dominant narratives around diagnosis to the importance of relationships, culture and context. He shared what this means for those entering the profession, and what he hopes new counsellors will carry with them.
