Talking Therapists
Talking Therapists is an ongoing project exploring the mental health of counsellors and psychotherapists, with the aim to reduce stigma, open up conversations across the profession, and build evidence for change through a survey, webinars, and published recommendations.
More information about this project can be read here.
We are kickstarting Talking Therapists by doing just that – holding an informal online conversation with a group of therapists over lunch, 1-2pm on Friday 31 July 2026. This will be a chance for our professional peers to break the silence – to share their experiences with us and help inform our onward work.
We are looking for a maximum of ten therapists to join us. If you are interested to take part and would like more information about this, or Talking Therapists more generally, please contact us at talkingtherapists@gmail.com
Following the shadow
An afternoon of journeying gently to meet the roots and resting place of our shadows.
This is a unique retreat for therapists to meet themselves deeply, beyond supervision and personal therapy.
What to expect
Hosted at an idyllic flint and chalk barn set on a working farm in East Sussex, this retreat offers us a space for calm and inner exploration, away from the pace of everyday life and work. Bring your mats and comfortable blankets.
Our afternoon will be unhurried and supportive, beginning with intention setting and using ceremony to open and protect the space. This will be followed by guided inner journeying lead by our shadow parts, storytelling on our return, reflection and integration. The space will be held by Tori, ensuring safety to explore any hidden roots, stories, or versions of self that choose to emerge.
The whole of you is welcome. These retreats are closed and shared experiences are confidential. We journey and interact from heart and soul, not head and mind.
