IT for therapists

Zen and the art of computing?

What does Shiatsu have to do with computing? Well, it's all about making connections. Shiatsu is a wonderful tool for communicating, and a computer is a very powerful creative means of communicating if it is used with imagination. Computers only become stressful when we feel that we are not in control of them!
Creative Connections Consultancy provides help on how to buy computing equipment, and training on how to set up and develop the programs that you use. For further information look at our consultancy and training pages.

Relax and Enjoy your Computer

Here's your chance to take control of your computer and have some fun at the same time.

This is a series of two-hour workshops that we run for beginners. Each workshop starts with a short session of relaxation techniques (to help take the stress out of working with computers!). The sessions are structured, but informal. Participants are encouraged to wear comfortable clothing and light refreshments are served.

Workshop 1   Introduction to Windows

A quick tour of the PC, including the screen, how to use the mouse and Windows menus. We will show you how to store your work using Windows Explorer and explain basic computer jargon!

Workshop 2   Word processing with Microsoft Word: Part I - letters and other documents

How to produce a good looking document in Microsoft Word, save it and retrieve it. Learn how to use the best automatic features, but turn off the ones that hinder you!

Workshop 3   Word processing with Microsoft Word: Part II - printing and templates

The mysteries of printing explained! How to turn your letters and other standard documents into templates that you can use over and over again.

Workshop 4   Introduction to Spreadsheets using Microsoft Excel

Workshop 5   Manage your E-mail and Contacts using Microsoft Outlook Express

Workshop 6   Surf the Internet using Internet Explorer
