Therapist training could save businesses billions



Businesses across the region could save billions of pounds by training staff as psychotherapists, claims a Sheffield counselling expert.



Figures recently released by mental health charity MIND showed that stress has forced one in five workers to call in sick, while the majority of employees feel their bosses are not doing enough to look after the wellbeing of staff.



Sheffield based Temenos is offering the chance for people to enlist on their three-year Counsellor and Psychotherapist training, which begins in January 2011, where they can ultimately receive an accredited diploma qualification.



The training would provide staff with the skills to manage employees and help them overcome any problems, such as stress or depression. It will also be of use to anyone wanting a career change.



Temenos’ course runs for just three days – Saturday, Sunday and Monday - each month. Students will initially need to enrol in the one-year foundation course where they will receive an introduction and a basic outline of the skills of a therapist before having the option to continue for a further two years to gain the diploma.



Temenos, located on Westbourne Road, Broomhill, is the only company in Sheffield to offer the three-year person-centred counsellor and psychotherapist training package.



Keemer Keemar from Temenos is a qualified therapist who will run the training course. He said: “The foundation course will be ideal for someone within a company wanting the skills to help employees with the aim of reducing the amount of sick days at their organisation.



“Businesses are losing an estimated £8.4bn through sick days caused by poor mental wellbeing. As the course runs for three days a month, with two of them over a weekend, it will take a little amount of time out of someone’s working week.



“Alternatively, more than 500,000 people are likely to be made redundant in the public sector over the next few years and this training offers an opportunity for someone wanting to learn a new skill to gain employment in a new career.



“Our training aims to develop critical skills and practice, and to provide the necessary qualification for students to become reflective practitioners in a variety of settings. It will enable them to meet the training requirements for applying for individual accreditation with the British Association for Counseling and Psychotherapy.”



The tuition fee to enrol on the training is £1,850 a year and places are limited to 15 people per course.

Friday at Temenos

Spent the day in Temenos thinking about the challenge of recruitment in a recession and what we stand for as an organisation.

Gets me thinking about the counselling world and what motivates to be in this industry and what I am looking for Temenos to be, what environment I want us to aspire to.

And I keep coming back to my desire for there to be space in the world to be free, and to grow in relationship and to learn in a way that both challenges and inspires me ...

Much profound thinking going on!

And as I am writing this I am realising I haven't been keeping the blog up to date, there has been so much going on over the summer, not least of which has been moving premises! If you get a chance please take a peek at our new ‘Temenos Location’ page on the website, you can see pictures of the training room, library and kitchen. So important to know where the kettle is :)

The Counselling Studies students are back after the summer with Clare Raido and we have also begun our Post Graduate Supervision course led by Colin Lago. We will be starting the Foundation year in January and are getting the word out as best as we can about our introductory days. If you know anyone who might be interested in training with us please point them to our website!

There has also been exciting developments in our CPD programme, Colin Lago and David Rose have agreed to come to Livingston to deliver their workshop ‘Mistakes’ in Psychotherapy and the evening before will offer a lecture/discussion that will also be available to watch live online via the onlinevents.co.uk website. In just a week 50 people have signed up for this online experience, we are really excited about the possibilities opening up to us here! If you haven’t seen the details of these events please visit our new “Workshops at Temenos" page.

In preparation for the event Colin and David participated in an interview about their experience in the field that has led to this workshop, if you get the time to watch the interview I am sure that you will enjoy what they have to say about ‘Mistakes’ and just how much fun they have working together.

There is more news that we hope to be able to share with you shortly, and will keep everyone posted with our shiny new mailing list host mailchimp.com, if you aren’t on our mailing list and would like to be, please use this link.

Warm wishes

There has been much happening at Temenos over recent months and feels like a good time to offer you an update.

Keith Tudor and Louise Embleton Tudor have been released from the board of Temenos by Keemar Keemar and we wish them both all the best with their new lives in New Zealand.

We are very excited to let you know that Temenos is moving home to the Broomhill area of Sheffield, not far from the Botanic Gardens, for the beginning of the Academic year in September.

Our new home is located in a tranquil, green area and the property feels ideally suited to contain profound personal experience along with rigorous academic learning.

We very much look forward to you visiting and will be sending out maps shortly to everyone booked on our upcoming courses.

As well as continuing our successful training in Psychotherapy and the popular CPD programme much work has been put into the ongoing development of new training courses. We hope to release details soon of a Person Centred Leadership programme, an MSc in the Applications of the Person Centred Approach and a visit from Natalie Rogers to launch a training in Person Centred Expressive Arts Therapy.

Temenos has entered the world of social networking, you can join the discussion on our Facebook page by using this link http://bit.ly/cp5Zdz and follow our twitter updates here http://twitter.com/temenosonline

Hi Everyone!

Welcome to the new Temenos website and the new Temenos blog!

There has been lots happening over the last few weeks including building a brand new website to showcase the wonderful work of Temenos, hoping this blog will be a place to keep you up to date with the latest news and our plans for the future.

Watch this space as I am hoping Temenos staff will contribute to the blog and keep us updated about their work and what they are excited about!

You might be wondering who I am? I am a recent addition to the team joining a few weeks ago to form a management group with Keemar Keemar. I first experienced Temenos on the supervision course in 2008 and was affected deeply by the culture of freedom to learn and the openness of all the staff I came into contact with.

I work as a counsellor and trainer within my own private counselling practice, run an events company and a cleaning company. My interest in combining good business practice with high quality counselling and training relationships has led me to Temenos and hope to use my skills to support Temenos to find its way in an uncertain economic future.

Looking forward to lots of good times together!

John Wilson
