Our webinars
A webinar is a course of online sessions, where you will learn general information about your symptoms and how they are being maintained, and then be given practical strategies and tools to help you to manage your symptoms.
The webinar is facilitated by two Psychological Wellbeing Practitioners (PWPs), who are clinicians trained in delivering low-intensity Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). You will attend alongside other patients who may be experiencing similar difficulties to yourself, but it is not a therapy group. Generally, we encourage participants to keep their cameras and microphones switched off; the main speakers will be the two facilitators, who will take you through a presentation each week.
The sessions will be somewhat interactive, using the “chat function” to answer questions or polls, or you can request to unmute yourself to ask or answer a question. However, there is no obligation to contribute to questions if you do not feel comfortable, and you can join in as much or as little as you would like to. See below for examples of webinars we run and what to expect from them.
