Please note that workshop presentations may include completely anonymised stories or experiences from clients, who have provided informed consent for anonymised aspects to be shared during teaching/training sessions. Any reference to potentially personal identifiable information has been/will be deliberately changed. After providing informed consent to Dr Dunlop, clients were offered remuneration in the form of a discount to their therapy. This was only offered after they had provided informed consent, so as to not unduly influence their decision to share or not share such anonymised accounts. For this reason, to respect clients, these live events will not be recorded. If you cannot make the live event, and have paid for a ticket, please contact Dr Dunlop who will be able to send you a pre-recorded presentation after the event finishes that does not include anonymised client stories or experiences. Thank you for your understanding.
