Weekend Intensives
Ideal for expanding the curriculum of a standard Counselling or Psychotherapy training course, these start on a Friday evening and end at Sunday after lunch.

4 Day Courses
30 hours of CPD in a single course. Set in a retreat centre, these residential courses take the form of a spiritual retreat focussed on dream work and ritual. Extensive comparative theory is presented including a whistle-stop tour of Jung, Freud/Klein, Gestalt (Perls), Psychodrama (Moreno), Psychosynthesis (Assagioli), Reich, Maslow, and Cognitive (Festinger) and Perceptual (Gestalt & Marr). Creative methods include drawing, painting, writing, drama, mask-making, trance, visualisation and, of course, ritual.
Evening Classes
Covering the same hours and content as the 4 day courses, these classes are stretched over 14 weeks. Taking place in my rural studio just outside Oxford, they end with a rite of passage round a fire.
