My approach crafting this workshop: 

I am a developmentally based, relationally focused Integrative Psychotherapist, Supervisor, and Group Facilitator

The aim of this 2-workshop is to help you to explore experientially and conceptually how to realize your authentic or true self. It focuses on deconstructing child-based notions of what it means to be an adult; nurturing your most adult self whilst at the same time connecting compassionately with your wounded inner child or children. The final element in this approach is to explore and liberate your eternal inner child, the creative and spiritual part of you. Together this three pronged approach creates a simple but powerful approach to self-actualisation through integration; where the autonomy and uniqueness of the whole person is celebrated.

As well as being underpinned by Humanistic principles I draw on psychodynamic theory, child development and neuroscience. The aim of this integrative approach is to facilitate the growth and integration of the whole adult person whilst working with developmentally arrested parts and states.

The 2-day workshop is experiential and encourages self-disclosure and sharing from both myself and you as participants. I seek to support the individual and the group process. From experience I believe this way of learning creates an ideal environment for understanding and integrating this model into your life and clinical work.
