Observe at the MPC
Do you want to spend time at the Centre observing therapy? We invite qualified SLTs to join our group therapy programmes so you can see the process of planning, delivering and reflecting on group work first hand.
If you are a UK therapist we recommend that you attend one of our core workshops before observing group work.
Group therapy in action
- observe group therapy with either 10-14 year olds and their parents or with young people aged 15-19 years
- immerse yourself in the way that we work with clients to empower them
- be an active part of the clinical team
- have time each day for discussion and reflection
- meet other trainees from the UK or Europe and learn from each other
- start your training before the group starts by observing an assessment at the Centre (remotely) so that you see the entire process
Groups may be either one week or two weeks in length. We are planning for all of our groups in 2023 to take place in person, at the Centre.
Our groups for 10-14’s and their parents:
27 to 31 March 2023; 31 July to 4 August 2023; 23 to 27 October 2023.
Our 15-19’s group: 17 to 28 July 2023.
What one trainee has said:
“I want to send a huge THANK YOU to the MPC team. I really enjoyed my time at the MPC as a trainee. They provide a safe and stimulating environment for learning and developing skills, both for therapists and families. The team is absolutely lovely and gave us great food for thought, as well as their time and attention. Thank you!“

“I’m much less scared about direct work now that I’ve seen and practiced the techniques.”
