Professional Trainings



You can follow the training because you:

  • Just love Focusing and want to explore it and live it more deeply.

  • Want to teach Focusing to others in a one-to-one or group setting.

  • Want to take Focusing into your practice as a therapist, body-worker or coach, for example.


The trainings are very much led by you and your passions and interests. You are encouraged to follow your own sense of rightness and wisdom all the way through the training. Each spring I gather a cohort of students in a small groups to begin the training together. This provides support for your journey. However much of it is self-led and motivated by you.

There are two stages to the training: If you want to work with individuals, you will need to train as a Focusing Practitioner. If you want to work with groups, you will need to take the Practitioner training and then take the Teacher training. Each one is described briefly below:
