SUMMARY:14th March 2026 – “Boundary Distress and Counselling” presented by Lyndal Schultz
DESCRIPTION:Hello all\, \nWe are looking forward to our upcoming professional development presentation which will be held on Saturday 14th March 2026 from 11:00am to 12:30pm \n \nCV Presents: \nBoundary Distress and Counselling \nCounsellors routinely see clients arrive at boundary conversations late\, under strain\, or at the point of rupture. This session asks why. Drawing on long-term pattern observation across corporate\, trauma\, and relational contexts\, Lyndal explores what the timing and sequence of boundary distress reveals\, and what might shift when we start looking upstream rather than at the point of breakdown. \nLyndal Schultz is a qualified counsellor with over 25 years of corporate project rescue experience and 16 years supporting individuals through cancer care\, bereavement\, and domestic violence contexts. Working across systems where misalignment carries real cost\, she became interested in the patterns that emerge long before breakdown becomes visible. \n  \nLyndal will discuss her experience on this topic\, followed by a Q&A and the option to network with others in the industry in small groups\, following the presentation. \nThis is a 90-minute presentation relevant to the Counselling / Healthcare industries\, complete with an assessment component. The presentation meeting link will be provided via email and a ‘Certificate of Attendance with online assessment’ is issued to all members and registered visitors (expressions of interest welcome – reach out via our Contact Us page).

SUMMARY:11th July 2026 – “What is the Parent’s Dysregulation Protecting?” presented by Kuljit Daliwal
DESCRIPTION:Hello all\, \nWe are looking forward to our upcoming professional development presentation which will be held on Saturday 11th July 2026 from 11:00am to 12:30pm \n  \nCV Presents: \n“What is the Parent’s Dysregulation Protecting? Moving from parent coaching to parent formulation” \nIn clinical work\, we formulate the child. We educate the parent. Why?\nThis 90-minute reflective workshop invites counsellors to reconsider how they understand parent dysregulation in therapeutic work. When a child becomes dysregulated\, clinicians often become curious about attachment\, trauma\, sensory needs\, unmet needs and nervous system activation. Yet when a parent becomes dysregulated\, we may quickly move into education\, strategies or coaching. This workshop asks counsellors to pause before intervening and consider a different clinical question: \nWhat is this parent’s dysregulation protecting?\nThrough brief but reflective discussion\, clinical formulation and shared practice wisdom\, participants will explore parent dysregulation as a protective adaptation shaped by nervous system activation\, attachment experiences\, core beliefs\, fear\, shame and relational history. Rather than offering another set of parenting strategies\, this workshop creates space for counsellors to think deeply about the parent behind the behaviour and how our own responses as therapists may also become part of the clinical picture. \n  \n \nKuljit Daliwal is a psychotherapist and clinical supervisor with over 12 years of experience supporting children\, adolescents\, adults and families from diverse cultural backgrounds\, including neurodivergent individuals. Originally trained in England\, her integrative practice draws on person-centred\, psychoanalytic and evidence-informed approaches\, with a strong belief that meaningful change begins with a safe therapeutic relationship and a genuine understanding of each person’s unique experience. \nKuljit will discuss her experience on this topic\, followed by a Q&A and the option to network with others in the industry in small groups\, following the presentation. \nThis is a 90-minute presentation relevant to the Counselling / Healthcare industries\, complete with an assessment component. The presentation meeting link will be provided via email and a ‘Certificate of Attendance with online assessment’ is issued to all members and registered visitors (expressions of interest welcome – reach out via our Contact Us page).
