Revive your interest and enthusiasm in your online work. What if you could get the better of this COVID situation, by skilling up on the Zoom telehealth options to make counselling online a rich and rewarding experience for you and your adult and child clients?
Your Zoom whiteboard is a therapeutic tool gathering dust behind the screen. This workshop will give you a chance to explore what might be possible and make your sessions more exciting.
Our brains were not wired to see the person we are conversing with full on, face-to-face for 50 minutes. When we are both looking at something which is relevant, visually meaningful, interactive and dynamic, the time flies and we also get to save the created work we have done together.
Kim has been using Zoom since 2017 when she began providing clinical supervision to overseas and Australian based students on their Monash Masters of Counselling placements. Since April 2020, Kim has provided over 55 training workshops for private training providers, 7 of these were coaching counsellors and social workers about using the best ever tool for online work: the Zoom whiteboard.
Schedule of contents:
Although this recorded workshop cannot be interactive, Kim will be inviting you to learn five ways to help clients engage more fully. Kim has dozens of case examples to share from her individual client work and group supervision practice:
1. Hear tips such as selecting ‘Speaker View’, which better represents the way our brains connect to each other: the person you are engaging with is larger than your self-view, and your eyes track closer to the camera, so your client will sense you are looking at them and not another spot on the screen.
2. Watch how to use the Zoom whiteboard to whip up a genogram at intake,
3. Watch the unfolding creation of tailored timelines about the client’s life and history of the problem.
4. See how to document the strengths and hopes and what is going right for the client.
5. See examples of a tailored, Virtual Art Gallery of psych ed material for clients.
6. Listen to case examples and see the visuals created in session.
7. Watch how to share a video to introduce a somatic, movement or breathwork practices.
8. How to gather ‘what was helpful?’ at the end of a session
