Seminars & Training

Ashburn Clinic offers seminars and courses for health professionals. Our upcoming events are listed here, and further details on the types of training we offer can be found below.

Monthly Luncheon Seminars

Ashburn presents a free luncheon seminar each month between February and November, which has a particular focus for mental health professionals.

The seminar runs between 12.30 pm and 1.30 pm (usually on the second Monday of the month), and there is an opportunity to catch up with professional colleagues over a light lunch from midday.

RSVPs are essential, and limited parking is available on-site – we encourage car-pooling where possible. 

Join our mailing list to ensure you never miss another seminar!

There is no charge for the educational luncheon. The Board of Trustees has undertaken to provide these events as part of its educative function as a charitable trust for many years. We are very grateful to the James Hume Bequest Fund for its ongoing funding to support our luncheon seminars, as well as create future capability for seminar recording and remote access.

Psychotherapy Seminars

Ashburn offers a series of four psychotherapy seminar modules over two years, which form an advanced course in the theory of psychotherapy. Each module has a specific theme and consists of 10 evening seminars. A course essay is submitted to complete the module. The four modules are:

1. Stages of Human Development
2. Models of Psychotherapeutic Practice
3. Selected Theorists
4. Psychopathologies & Well-Being

On application, participants may complete individual modules or the full programme. While the course is not offered as a practising qualification, it forms a sound basis for those who wish to pursue such qualifications or add an additional knowledge base to their existing professional qualifications or practice. Those who achieve certificates of completion in all four modules are able to apply for a further assessment to achieve a certificate of completion of the advanced course.  

The next module starting in March 2027 will be ‘Selected Theorists’; the exact start date is still to be confirmed. Please note that you do not need to complete the modules in a particular order – you can start with any module.

Supervision Workshops

Ashburn hosts clinical supervision seminars for psychotherapists working in the community. These take place once or twice a year, and generally run over a weekend.
