I have a monthly ACT peer supervision/interest group meeting at Randwick. This group has been meeting for some years now and we have a core group of clinicians attending regularly.

The meeting usually follows along these lines:

• I begin with an initial experiential exercise,
• Practice one of the core ACT skills usually from the Learning ACT text
• Sometimes watching a DVD with one of the more expert ACT clinicians
• Role play with someone being a client they are stuck with
• Some reflective practice and discussion
• A demonstration with me (Mary) as the ACT therapist General networking with our colleagues
• Learning about RFT and Functional Contextualism

We are a friendly bunch of people who have a genuine passion for being the best ACT clinicians and meet on the 3rd Thursday of the month, 6.30-8pm.

If you want to join us, please ring Mary on 02 9388 9669 or email msawyer@onetoone-counselling.com.au
