Making Sense of Voices
An empowering short course about hearing voices
​
This short course is a unique opportunity to understand and work with the voice-hearing experience in empowering and healing ways.
​
Many people hear voices; in cultures all around the world, this phenomenon is found. It is often associated with spiritual and emotional sensitivity, but it can also be a distressing and disturbing experience.
Using a deeply authentic approach based on peer support, lived experience and the Hearing Voices Approach, we provide recovery ideas and tools so that voices-hearers and support people can respond in more compassionate and helpful ways to voices.
​
Who is it for?
This course is for people who hear voices, their loved ones and mental health workers.
Voices may be intrusive thoughts or actual voices heard in your ear. While the course does not emphasise diagnoses, many people who hear voices have diagnoses of schizophrenia, BPD, DID or other complex trauma conditions.
What will I learn?
Using my lived experience of schizophrenia and dissociation, my lessons learnt from working with voice-hearers, and world-renowned research from the Hearing Voices Movement, this training offers:
​​
-
An understanding of the different explanations for voice-hearing
-
Confidence to talk about the voice-hearing experience
-
A snapshot of tools and therapies that can be used to assist recovery
-
Connection with peers/others who have similar experiences
​
Who is my guide?
This course is facilitated by Louisa Dent Pearce, a Social Worker with her own lived experience of voice-hearing, recovery from schizophrenia, and experience working in trauma-sensitive ways.
​
Can I bring my support worker or loved one?
Yes. I have payment options for support workers or loved ones to attend with a participant.

Voice & Parts Profiling Workshop
​​
Voices & Parts Profiling is a unique opportunity to understand and work with voices or “inner parts”.
​
Parts can be the various roles we play in our lives and the personality traits we have. Some of these voices and parts are dominant while others are exiled or forgotten, yet all of them are important!
​
This trained is based on the work of Drs Hal and Sidra Stone, who created the Voice Dialogue process. Profiling is an easy and creative therapy tool which can be used for self-help or when working with others.
This course is facilitated by Louisa Dent Pearce, a Social Worker with her own lived experience of voice-hearing, recovery from schizophrenia, and experience working in trauma-sensitive ways.
​
Who is it for?
This course is for people who would like a practical tool to use for their own healing or to help others. It can be used for any mental health condition. People with lived experience, carers and loved ones, and mental health workers are all welcome.
​
What will I learn?
This workshop offers a chance to:
-
Understand profiling within a historical context of therapy and theory
-
Safely adapt profiling techniques for voices-hearers and for people with significant trauma histories
-
Gain practical experience in voice and parts profiling, working with a buddy
-
Gain greater self-awareness and potential for inner harmony
​
Who is my guide?
This course is facilitated by Louisa Dent Pearce, a Social Worker with her own lived experience of voice-hearing, recovery from schizophrenia, and experience working in trauma-sensitive ways.
