Embodied Awareness in Therapy: Navigating the Unspoken Dynamics

Join us for an immersive and experiential CPD training that explores the unspoken dynamics of therapy — the subtle, embodied exchanges that shape deep relational work.

Over two in-person days, this small-group workshop will support you in cultivating embodied self-awareness, emotional attunement, and non-verbal sensitivity. Through live, grounded exercises and reflective dialogue, you’ll learn to navigate body language, gesture, and presence as powerful therapeutic tools.

Drawing from attachment theory, interpersonal neurobiology, and Gestalt therapy, the course emphasises the moments between words — where posture, breath, tone, and shared emotion offer rich clinical insight.

This training is facilitated by experienced and specialist group therapists, with a strong emphasis on emotional safety and embodied pacing. It offers practical and personal tools to help you show up more fully, responsively, and intuitively in your work.

Organised by

Grounded in the Gestalt tradition, our work supports attendees to “move forward with greater awareness and confidence.” We draw from contemporary, psychosocial, and groundbreaking movements in psychotherapy—placing the power of relationship and the therapeutic alliance at the centre of meaningful change.

Our approach is also informed by neuroscience, somatic movement, and trauma-informed practice, recognising the deep connections between mind, body, and lived experience. We focus on identifying patterns, improving communication, and strengthening connection to support lasting emotional and relational transformation.
