Professional Feedback

A recent professional development workshop presented to a group of professional social workers generated overwhelmingly positive feedback, with all participants reporting that the content would have a meaningful impact on their professional development and practice.

Participants highlighted the value of:

• Exploring the concepts of the true self and false self through both psychological and spiritual lenses.
• Understanding the relationship between emotional wounds, defences, and splitting.
• Drawing connections between psychodynamic theory and the teachings of the Tanya.
• Integrating spirituality into therapeutic work where appropriate and client-centred.
• Deepening awareness of the therapeutic relationship as a transformative healing space.
• Enhancing both professional effectiveness and personal self-awareness.

Attendees described the presentation as insightful, engaging, and thought-provoking, noting Joanne’s ability to clearly explain complex concepts while creating a grounded and reflective learning environment.

“The integration of familiar psychological theory with new spiritual ideas was particularly valuable and expanded my perspective on therapeutic practice.”

“The content reinforced the importance of the therapeutic relationship while providing a deeper understanding of the soul and self.”

“It was valuable to reflect on my own experience through the framework presented and consider how these concepts can be integrated into practice.”

Workshops can be tailored for professional organisations, mental health practitioners, educational institutions, community groups, and leadership teams.
