This workshop is intended to explore the impact that attending Boarding school has on our clients, the lasting adaptations they have made and the potential shame associated with their sense of abandonment. We will consider our frame of reference and potential bias towards these clients.
Caroline will draw upon the work of Nick Duffell and Joy Schaverien and we can consider their work through a TA lens.
It will be an exploratory and curious space. Aiming to maintain a curiosity about the people we work with and hold an OK/OK position. Caroline’s own learning style is creative and visual and she likes to find enjoyment in learning where everyone can be free to express ourselves and our needs.

When Truth Faces Fractures: Clinical Practice in the Post-Truth Era
Online
Wednesday 22nd July 2026 6.30 – 8.00pm (UK Time)
Presenter: Andy Williams
PTSTA(P)
What happens when truth becomes optional? In a world of “alternative facts,” curated identities, and algorithm-driven realities, therapists are increasingly meeting clients who feel confused, polarised, and unsure what to believe. This lively and thought-provoking 90-minute seminar explores how the post-truth era is shaping identity, relationships, and the therapeutic encounter. Drawing on Transactional Analysis and contemporary thinking, Andy Williams invites you to reflect on trust, meaning-making, and the role of the therapist when certainty collapses. Expect challenge, curiosity, and practical insight as we ask: how do we work when truth itself is up for negotiation?
