Working with the End of Life Client
About the Course
Death is inevitable for us all yet we rarely talk about it. Working in a palliative care environment such as a hospice is a niche area and not for everyone, but facing a life limiting illness happens in any environment. What if an existing client came to you having been diagnosed with a terminal illness? How would you feel? How would your relationship be affected by their diagnosis?
In this one day workshop, we will discuss death and why it’s such an important topic to talk about. We will focus on working with clients who are at the end of their life and what we need to consider. The presenter will explain a model she has created for working with end of life clients (This model has recently been published in the UKATA Transactional Analyst magazine - Winter 2024) which we will explore together through fictions case studies.

Our Core Philosophy
At The Berne Institute we recognise that people come into TA training with widely differing experiences of clinical practice, theoretical knowledge and formal academic learning, and that they differ widely also in their current personal resources and skills. Our courses therefore honour the uniqueness of each individual’s learning and experience and their different learning styles, pace and areas of competence.
The philosophy and practice of Homonomy that respects our mutuality and interconnectedness has been recently integrated into the Berne Institute philosophy. The aim is to expand the focus in our theory and practice from individual change to include a focus on the wider implications of our work on the whole community and our planet.
