Description

Learn about Personal Construct Psychology (PCP)and how to use it in your work with Heather Moran, educational and clinical psychologist. Heather has worked with young people and professionals in a variety of roles over the past 40 years and has developed techniques for use in therapy, counselling and coaching sessions. She is trying to bring PCP to people who might not have come across it before, as well as to support the development of those who want to hone their skills with children, young people and adults. You can find out more about her work at drawingtheidealself.co.uk.
