Therapy is hard, isn’t it?
We’ve tried it all: seminars, books, and supervision. But when we sit in front of our clients: Why is it still so difficult to find the right words?
Learn more about how Deliberate Practice can help by registering for the event or read more below.
Most likely, the problem is our learning methods. Traditional methods often prioritize reflection: We read/talk about theories, interventions and clients. This may lead to new ideas, but not always to usable skills. Deliberate Practice prioritizes action: We train specific skills, get specific feedback and train the skills again. And again.
With Deliberate Practice, the results aren’t vague ideas but actual skills that are:
hands-on,
deeply internalized,
and ready to be used in the therapy room.
Deliberate Practice is so convincing that the American Psychological Association has now published a series of new books on the topic almost every month. If you join the webinar, you may understand why.

Who’s it for?
- The Beginning Therapist:
If you’re a therapy beginner, you’ll learn the fastest way to build solid therapy skills.
- The “Imposter” Therapist:
If you struggle with self-doubt as a therapist, you’ll find out why that’s probably not your fault and how you may fix it.
- The Dedicated Therapist:
If you’re dedicated to lifelong learning, you’ll stop wasting energy on ineffective learning strategies and start investing energy with better returns.
Who’d be disappointed?
- The “Perfect” Therapist:
o Deliberate Practice relies heavily on flawed human beings struggling to learn one of the most complex jobs in the world. So please bring your vulnerability into the meeting.
- The “Science Nerd”:
o While the scientific background of Deliberate Practice will be covered briefly, the focus lies on helping practitioners. If you prefer to dig deeper into the research, start with this overview: (LINK to https://www.researchgate.net/publication/365317071_Scoping_Review_of_Deliberate_Practice_in_the_Acquisition_of_Therapeutic_Skills)
- The Deliberate Practice Pro:
o If you’re already deeply immersed in DP-stuff, this webinar may not contain much new information.
Style of the Webinar:
- Human-to-human: The presentation is sprinkled with personal examples to make the concepts come alive.
- Jargon-Free: The presenter avoids school-specific jargon to foster exchange between different therapy “brands”.
- Hands-On: The webinar offers opportunities to actively try out the Deliberate Practice principles and gives specific ideas for the implementation of the principles into your practice.
The Presenter (Björn Bell):
- Licensed Therapist:
I’m a licensed psychotherapist from Leipzig, Germany.
- “Proud” Imposter:
Before I discovered the Deliberate Practice community, I tried to hide my therapeutic flaws. Then I realized that we were all in the same boat. Now I try to proudly show my weaknesses to help de-shame our profession.
- DP-Enthusiast:
Through sheer luck, I’ve had a chance to be supervised by Alexandre Vaz, co-editor of a dozen APA books on Deliberate Practice. Our supervision will result in a certificate as a “DP-Therapist” and – more importantly – in a completely new understanding of “good therapy”.
- (Sleep-Deprived) Father of Two Daughters:
A few months ago, my second daughter was born. Since then, I had to find creative ways to stay committed to regular Deliberate Practice. I mention this to say: It’s possible!
Would you mind investing 90 minutes to learn a framework that has completely changed my way of developing therapy skills? (The same might happen to you.)
