This weekend is for anyone who wants to strengthen and develop their ability to work in a relational and body-focused way with clients. It should be suitable both for people who have trained in body psychotherapy, and for those from other modalities who simply have an interest in and attraction to this style.

Although there will be some theoretical discussion, and some teaching of skills, the central aim is to help you develop your practical understanding of how you can take a relational and embodied stance that best suits you. If we work in a way that is comfortable for us, this will also be the most productive for our clients.

The workshop will therefore be experiential and practical in its focus, offering opportunities to work in observed dyads and to reflect on what happens there, and also time for group supervision and probably for demonstrations. It is open to any interested practitioners.

Nick Totton I am a body psychotherapist, trainer and supervisor with 35 years experience. I founded the post graduate training in Embodied-Relational Therapy (www.erthworks.co.uk), and also the one year Wild Therapy training (www.wildtherapy.org.uk).
