Integrating Holistic Psychoanalysis

Deepen your ability to think about psychotherapy while maintaining the integration of psychospiritual, embodied and trauma approaches.

Psychoanalytic thinking can feel out of reach or out of sync to integrative therapists. There are numerous false assumptions and assertions about psychoanalysis which persist, distancing the rich thinking that exists in the field. But with learning, reflection and application, a different understanding can emerge: that psychoanalysis can be integrated into other approaches, deepening possibilities for psychological growth and unlocking a grounded, purposeful, spiritual orientation.

These weekends provide a space to explore psychoanalytic theory and practice in a way which integrates your existing skills. Designed for qualified Psychotherapists from integrative, humanistic and transpersonal backgrounds, my hope is to deepen and extend the possibilities for healing that your psychotherapy practice can offer.

About the content
  • Classic and Jungian psychoanalytic thought applied in an embodied, relational, “trauma informed” way.
  • Learning which extends your ability to work safely and effectively at depth, especially around relational and attachment (pre-verbal) trauma.
  • Assistance integrating within your existing theoretical orientation and signposting to further resources, training and CPD.
About the format
  • A safe, confidential group supervisory format meaning thinking can be applied directly to client material, we’ll use creative techniques to unlock unconscious processes and role play to enhance skill development.
  • Group led, experiential learning. I’ll bring resources to share, but the needs of the group will drive the focus of exploration.
  • Each weekend we’ll have a focal paper or chapter to look at, and use the group to explore thinking on the authors meaning.
  • Across the course of the year I expect the group will build its own energy, with the potential for a supportive space which helps you process your clinical edges.
  • I will facilitate the weekends in a supervisory capacity. Some weekends will include guest speakers, which will be announced through the year.

Facilitation

I am a UKCP registered psychotherapist with experience working with individuals and groups. My primary training was Transpersonal (CCPE) and I have developed my practice toward Jungian, Psychoanalytic and Trauma informed perspectives. My work with groups is informed by Group Psychoanalytic theory and I am currently studying at the Institute of Group Analysis (IGA). My philosophy of therapeutic work is based on an integrative framework: that expressions of consciousness at levels of mind, body and spirit, are all of a greater whole.
