PositiviTEA Community
PositiviTEA is a FREE online group for the EP community, which offers space to connect, engage in friendly conversation, and share interesting ideas from positive psychology.
The idea of combining a tea break with positive psychology inspired our name ‘PositiviTEA’ - and we all know that you can't pour from an empty cup!
Our sessions are co-hosted by myself and the brilliant Max Caine (Max Purpose Psychology) and are open to qualified EPs (working in all and any contexts), Trainee EPs and Assistant EPs.
“A space like this is invaluable.”

MI Skills Club (MISC) is a FREE online learning community group for EPs wishing to practise their MI skills within a small and friendly group. It is open to EPs, TEPs and AsEPs, who have already undertaken initial training in Motivational Interviewing (at least half a day).
In each 90-minute online session myself and co-host Cathy Atkinson (both members of the international Motivational Interviewing Network of Trainers; MINT) will focus on one MI micro-skill and use small group breakout rooms to practice skills and give /receive supportive feedback.

Flourishing in Challenging Times
In this free 40min webinar, hosted via EP ReachOut on YouTube, Max Caine and I talk about how to flourish as an Educational Psychologist, especially in the face of current challenges for EPs.
