Working in the Web Webinar

Hi I’m Allison Priestman. I am a white, slim, cis gendered woman; living and struggling with both my disability and my ableism. I have been working as an Embodied-Relational Therapist for over 20 years. I'm continually being woken up, challenged and nourished by my contact with clients, supervises and trainees. At this time of climate, diversity and equality crises, I’m interested in being part of a collective understanding of their interwoven causes. And part of a collective search for a way forward.I’m interested in creating training spaces from three-hour webinars to the two year-long residential Embodied- Relational Therapy training, which allow participants to drop deeply into themselves. Combining experiential learning with rigorous theoretical input. Supporting practitioners to relax into the complexities and paradoxes of working as a therapist. Of supporting work from the non-expert position.I'm re-running for the fourth time my Playing with Fire Online Course Oct 2024- June 2025. Exploring an Embodied, Relational, Intersectional and Wild Therapeutic Approach. How can working in an embodied, relational and wild way support the decolonisation of your practise?https://www.allisonpriestman.org/copy-of-playing-with-fireMore information to follow in the new year. Please note I will be running a series of Friday morning webinars in the Spring and Summer to act as tasters for the training.The next Embodied-Relational Therapy two year training begins in Juner 2025. It’s a robust, immersive, modular, residential training that will be run from Devon this year. I will be co-running the first year with Stephen Tame. For more information and the application documents please check out theEmbodied-Relational Therapy website.

A taster webinar for an online course on eco-systemic psychotherapy

An ecosystem is a spontaneously self-regulating network of interdependent beings, all of which form the environment for each member of the network. When we meet as therapist and client, each of us comes as part of many literal and metaphorical ecosystems; we can see the situation as a disturbance somewhere in the client’s networks which leads them to seek interaction with the therapist’s networks, including but not only their professional ones. Many different beings are effectively present at the meeting – human and other-than-human, alive and dead, physical and non-physical; all potentially have a role to play.Experiencing therapy from this larger perspective is enriching, but it’s not immediately clear how to translate this vision into a new form of practice. In the webinar, which is a taster for the <a href="https://www.allisonpriestman.org/workingintheweb" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">longer course</a> starting in September, we will be exploring some possible ways of working ecosystemically through presentations, discussion, and time in pairs or small groups.​Places will be limited to 22. A few concessionary places are available at £25, please contact me if you wish to book one.
