"Following from the long-standing and dramatically increasing research base of child-centered play therapy (CCPT), and within a world-wide proliferation of CCPT training programs, Judi and Megan’s ChildPlayWorks (CPW) training programme is exemplary. Each trainee receives an educational foundation of the theory and principles that drive the specific skills of CCPT. Each trainee is carefully monitored and supported to ensure excellence in personal and skill development. Judi and Megan are driven to high standards by a deep caring for the needs of children in therapy and the need for therapeutic excellence for them. We are proud to partner with them and to endorse CPW."Jeff L. Cochran, Ph.D., NCC, LMHC and Nancy H. Cochran, MA, CAS, LMHC
The training programme includes four 5-day face-to-face training workshop intensives as well as an online component in Stage 3. The intensives provide concentrated immersion in the development of the 'why' of CCPT, as well as of the 'how' in guided, consolidated CCPT skill development. The number of focused learning hours and the experience of the fully supportive environment of each 5-day intensive, provides an invaluable learning experience for each trainee.
The training pathway is tailored for the individual and is dependant on their base qualification.
ChildPlayWorks also provides professional development workshops which are of interest to all those who work with children.
The Wonderful World of Child-Centered Play Therapy (5-day workshop intensive)
This is also a standalone, professional development workshop and does not require pre-approval for entry into the full play therapy training programme. Applications for the full training programme may be submitted either before or after this foundational workshop.
Stage 2a: Deepening and Strengthening the Therapeutic Relationship (5-day workshop intensive)
In this 5-day workshop we host Dr Wendy Kelly (Clinical Psychologist) as she presents her very popular 1-day professional development workshop The Effects of Trauma on Children's Attachment Relationships.
Applications to begin supervised practice are able to be submitted after completion of this workshop.
Stage 2b: Issues in Clinical Practice (5-day workshop intensive)
Included in this 5-day workshop is a 1-day professional development workshop in which we host Heather Chambers (Consultant Child Psychotherapist) and Andrea Broadhurst (Occupational Therapist) as they present Heather's long-standing and highly regarded work the AEAI: Adult Exploration of Attachment Interview.
All training components of Stages 1&2 are completed in Year 1.
Stage 3a: Issues in Advanced Clinical Practice (5-day workshop intensive)
Included in this workshop are two in-depth presentations:
ChildPlayWorks presents their model for working with parents/caregivers and their child together in the playroom to strengthen their relationship.
Dr Bill Nordling presents his series of three 90-minute interactive presentations 'Working with Parents' and these form a solid foundation for the all-important aspect of developing effective, supportive working relationships with parents/caregivers. Prior to 2021, this valuable series was an additional training requirement but we now include this in the Stage 3a workshop.
Stage 3b: The Emergent Child-Centered Play Therapist (online/long distance)
Nancy Cochran and Dr Jeff Cochran present their excellent series of three 90-minute interactive presentations 'Working with Relationship-Resistant Children'. Nancy H. Cochran and Dr Jeff L. Cochran, alongwith Dr Bill J. Nordling, co-author one of our required texts Child-Centered Play Therapy: A Practical Guide to Developing Therapeutic Relationships with Children (Wiley, 2010).
Successful completion of Stage 3 sees the finalising of all clinical and supervised practice components of the ChildPlayWorks Clinical Play Therapy Training Programme. A ChildPlayWorks Post Graduate Certificate in Child-Centered Play Therapy is awarded to successful graduates.
