    Clinical Practice from a Jungian Perspective

    This unique course is designed for practising clinicians (psychoanalysts, psychotherapists and counsellors) who wish to deepen their clinical understanding and are particularly interested in the Jungian approach practised at the Society of Analytical Psychology (SAP).

    Somatic Countertransference and The Unthinkable: On the making Of the mind

    The workshop will explore specific manifestations of transference and countertransference that we encounter in our consulting room. A special focus will be on the somatic expressions of countertransference, in relation to so-called “un-repressed unconscious” and proto-mental contents that are still unthinkable, as well as to how and when the transference can and should be interpreted according to specific clinical situations and different therapeutic settings, via the accurate working through of the countertransference.  The workshop will be particularly focused on the ways a mind can be developed out of unthinkable elements.


    Obsessions, Anxieties and Phobias: New Therapeutic Challenges For Old “Neuroses”

    The workshop will explore manifestations of obsessive-compulsive behaviours and their interrelatedness with depression and thinking disorders, as well as of phobias and anxiety.

    Transitions: Adolescence into Adulthood

    A modular CPD clinical training course in working with 18-25 year olds

    With limited therapeutic services available to this transitional age group in the UK, there is increasing pressure and demand on therapists in private practice and charities to treat patients within this group.  This course has been developed to further the therapist's skill and support when working with this challenging developmental stage.
