Workshop info:

Designed for those navigating the complexities of mid-life and beyond, this workshop is a space to decode the limiting narratives and perfectionism that often accumulate over decades. We move beyond theory to treat "fear as data," transforming internal obstacles into a roadmap for radical agency and improved emotional regulation.

The session integrates a practical workbook with scenario-driven discussions to ensure insights become applied life skills. Open conversations are used to explore relationship behaviours, interactions, and managing authenticity, identity, and emotional vulnerability. The discussions include topics such as Fear-of-Failure, Personal Agency, Moral Compass, Community Living, Shame and Social Anxiety, External Validation, Perfectionism and more.

Participants will walk away with a personalized framework for decision-making and authentic connection, providing the tangible tools needed to lead your next chapter with clarity and purpose.

Biography:

Hello, my name is Greg Wilmot, a Counselling Psychologist and long-time resident of the beautiful Eastern Cape. My Practice has two sites, located in Makhanda (Grahamstown) and Bushmans River Mouth (near Kenton-on-Sea). I also consult to an independent school in the region.

I have been in Practice for more than 15 years and have worked with clients from a broad range of backgrounds and ages. I have specialised in work with adolescents, Sports Psychology, and taught various courses at post-graduate level including Family Therapy and Coules Therapy.

I specialize in Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy, and Interpersonal Therapy and deal with a broad range of psychological, social, emotional and family related issues; many of which we encounter daily.

My experience allows me to address a variety of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma (PTSD), bereavement, family and relationship issues, mental health crises, substance abuse, addiction, and adjustment difficulties.

Based on my experience in Psychotherapy Practice, research, and teaching, I conduct workshops for parents, learners, educators, organisations, athletes, and coaches. With my business partner, we have developed customised programs relating to mental health, adolescent transition, & talent development, leadership, and education. Workshops include group or employee wellness interventions, performance systems, and staff development training.
