Workshop Description

Applying the Enneagram to counselling clients with sexual offending problems

Trainer: Andrew Smith

The Enneagram provides detailed descriptions of the typical thoughts, emotions and behaviours of nine lenses on the world: nine styles of personality. By determining which lens or style is closest to our own, the Enneagram can be a useful tool in increasing self-awareness – revealing our and our clients’ gifts but also blind spots. Engaging with the Enneagram can provide us with a map for growing and changing and can assist in enabling clients to understand and overcome their problems and sexual compulsions. The Enneagram system can be taught to clients, but can be used by practitioners to inform their own personal development, practice and formulations and treatment of clients with sexual offending problems.
