Why This Course?
Some of the clients who seem
the most stable are carrying the deepest, most hidden wounds. Behind competence, kindness, or humour may be high-functioning distress, emotional suppression, and identity loss.
This course helps counsellors uncover and gently work with the hidden parts of these clients — exploring protective roles, somatic unmasking, permission-based experiments, and the reclaiming of the true self.
If you work with people-pleasers, perfectionists, or those who "can't stop performing," this course will give you tools to work beneath the surface — safely, creatively, and compassionately.
What’s Included:
- 5 full training modules with therapist guidance
- Worksheets for client use in and between sessions
- Tools for permission-based experiments and emotional pacing
- Somatic awareness exercises & visualisation scripts
- Identity reclamation, values and voice-based tasks
- Printable A4 reflection tools & body mapping sheet
- Poetic and creative resources to inspire integration
- Full quiz to consolidate learning
- Can be used as CPD self-study (print your reflections)
Who It’s For:
- Counsellors and psychotherapists (trainee or qualified)
- Professionals working with people-pleasers, overfunctioners, and “high-functioning” clients

- Anyone who wants to help clients unmask safely and reconnect with who they really are
