Training description

The PCW – Provocative Change Works 3.1 Development Programme is a year-long, immersive learning experience designed to help you become confident and flexible in using the PCW approach in real-world contexts.

Across 12 months you will work live with Nick Kemp in small group workshops, take part in practice and consolidation sessions, and have the opportunity for one-to-one coaching to deepen your skills. The focus is on practical application, clear feedback and the ability to work conversationally with a wide range of client issues.

Over the course of the programme you can work towards PCW Practitioner, Advanced PCW Practitioner or Specialist PCW Practitioner certification (certification is optional and depends on meeting assessment requirements).

What you will get

  • 11 live online workshop sessions with Nick across four themed modules
  • Up to eight 45-minute one-to-one sessions with Nick to refine your skills
  • Monthly consolidation sessions and additional practice opportunities
  • A comprehensive illustrated manual, session recordings and assignments
  • Access to a private online group for questions, discussion and peer practice
  • Over 60 hours of live training plus self-study resources

Programme structure

The 12-month programme is organised into four modules:

  • Module 1 – The Art of Provocation: foundations of Provocative Therapy, PCW stances, framing sessions, working in the “here and now” and using psychoeducation.
  • Module 2 – Trance & Time Framing: integrating conversational hypnosis, deconstructing client problems, working with anxiety, phobias and other issues, and creating time-based feedback loops.
  • Module 3 – Integration & Fractionation: advanced stance work, using PCW with groups, and applying the model in therapy, coaching, business, sport and education.
  • Module 4 – “Mystery Curveball” Module: live demonstrations, evaluation and show-and-tell sessions where participants demonstrate their skills in unpredictable, real-time situations.

Training dates

The main workshop days take place on selected Saturdays between October 2024 and September 2025. There are additional evening consolidation sessions and optional practice sessions led by PCW practitioners. Exact dates and times are confirmed on the booking page and joining instructions.
