Narrative approach; and a Developmental approach" This will be an interactive workshop
including a presentation, case studies and a demonstration/ role play session. It will be
designed to equip us as practitioners to have a range of creative ideas and models to
access so we can find a "best fit" for the individual client struggling with stuckness.

MARGIE COHEN -
In my past work life, I have been an English/ History teacher (between 1976 and 2003). My present work life is as a counsellor began in 1998. I have had a special interest in young people and their families, having worked in a DoCS funded position as an adolescent and family counsellor for 6 years, and more recently in private practice, primarily with families and couples. I have also been a trainer for St Mark's NTC (since 2006), teaching both the Certificate IV and Advanced Diploma in counselling skills and involved in a pilot programme in Couple Counselling. My latest project is around facilitating placement and supervision of new counselling graduates into Coast Care Counselling, a community based company which supplies low cost counsellors to local centres, as a pathway into the work place.
THE MYSTERIOUS DISTANCE BETWEEN A MAN & AWOMAN - SEXUALITY,
SENSUALITY & INTIMACY - This interactive workshop will explore sexuality in the context of intimate relationship. We will explore desire discrepancy, libido, the language of love and the impact this has on intimacy. We will identify the physiological, endocrinal and emotional
differences between men and women in their approaches to love-making and sex. We will develop our practitioner competence and skill to appropriately discuss sexuality and intimacy with respect and confidence.
