NEXT TUESDAY MEETING

Working with Body in Therapy

Presented by Helen Farrell
Tuesday, 12th May 2026 at 8pm

Synopsis: How and why should practitioners work with the body (both their own, and clients) in talking therapy? This workshop aims to start to answer that question, helping you go beyond the question 'where do you feel that in your body?' How can we help our clients and ourselves connect with the body in talking therapy and what impact can this have on the therapeutic process?
This workshop aims to help you understand the rationale behind bringing focus to the body in therapy, learn some ways to gently introduce the body into therapy and gain some basic interventions involving the body.
It is appropriate for counsellors and psychotherapists who predominantly work from a talking standpoint and may impact your practice by broadening talking therapy to include the body and the wisdom and communication it has to offer.
