Reflective Practice Group for  Clinical and Counselling Psychologists

Clinical Psychologist and a `Group Work Practitioner of Group Analysis.I have particular interest in depth psychology - both  Jungian and Group Analytic.The workshops I run often are exploring stories and myths in groups as a way to creatively connect and examine individual and collective psychology; providing a choice of teaching spaces, seminars and groups where people can reflect on life.The reflective spaces I provide can be either “here-and-now” events where participants study what is going on in the moment, paying particular attention to unconscious dynamics and looking at the group-as-a-whole, rather than intrapersonal or interpersonal dynamics. Or events, where the group is invited to reflect on their experiences regarding a particular piece of material: such as a group discussion on a piece of literature, or, a participant sharing a work situation to be thought about together as a group.It is not unusual that learning is transformational in terms of how participants look at themselves, their roles, their groups, and organisations they are part of.These reflective spaces are for anyone wanting to experience in action how through the group‘s discussion, meeting our reactions, our connection to symbols, imagery and association along the way, we might enable each other to better understand ourselves, each other and some of the personal and collective stories we all live.Unless explicitly stated for a specific event, no particular background or experience is necessary to participate.

Reflective Practice Group for  Qualified Psychologists.

Reflective Practice Groups

As part of my practice, I run several long term reflective practice groups for qualified psychologists and also a reflective practice group for aspiring psychologists.

A reflective space for qualified psychologists to think about themselves and their work environments. For the purpose of this space a qualified psychologist is considered to be someone qualified at doctoral level in clinical or counselling psychology (including those newly/recently qualified). The group is a space to explore systemic and structural work dynamics as well as process clinical and professional issues; to reflect on issues of the interface of the personal and professional including our relationship with leadership, power, position and privilege; along with sharing academic understandings, and importantly to receive emotional support when navigating the complexities of working as a qualified clinical or counselling psychologist .Each session lasts for ninety minutes. Within the session the group members will be invited to volunteer to briefly share a professional situation for the group to discuss. With a maximum of two situations per session. Who shares is decided at the beginning of each session determined by whoever would like to or, if more than one or two volunteers, who is most urgent. This group was set up with the hope to begin to address the need for spaces where psychologists are able to speak openly, explore ideas and think together about some of the complexities of roles; and where local service politics and professional politics can also be contained sufficiently to allow them to be observable and reflected on. This is a closed group experience running for a 10 week block. The fee is £ 250 per block (£25 per session). Group members are asked to commit to attending the block of sessions to encourage a safe space and continuity in group dynamics; as such there are no refunds on missed sessions.There is a maximum of Six people in this group.Dates are: 19/01; 26/01; 02/02; 09/02; 16/02; 23/02; 02/03; 09/03; 16/03; 23/03.
