Practise - Play - Progress

Taking place over 4 months, the course will provide a mix of therapeutic groupwork theory, significant opportunities for supervised group facilitation practise and a reflective space to consider your own journey as a therapeutic group facilitator. 

The course will explore the factors needed for therapeutic groupwork to be interactive, emotionally responsive, reflective, stimulating and safe enough to be an effective intra- and inter-personal learning laboratory for group participants. 

The course is suitable for qualified counsellors and therapists and allied professionals who facilitate groups or plan to in the future, and who have completed some basic training in therapeutic group work (such as an Introduction to Therapeutic Groupwork with Tim Foskett or an agreed equivalent). 

Tim Foskett is a group psychotherapist who has been working extensively with groups for over 30 years in a wide range of different contexts. He draws from humanistic, integrative, body-centred and psychodynamic models, and works creatively, interactively and responsively to the needs of the group.  He is particularly interested in supporting the application of therapeutic groupwork in a wide range of clinical contexts. 

Tim sees group therapy as a unique therapeutic art-form, which combines well-established principles of practice, with the artistry of the practitioner, in combination with the unique personality of each group constellation. Consequently, almost anything is possible - welcome to the adventure!
