Peer support group + energy psychology
As well as two hours of CPD, potential benefits of group meet-ups include:
No cost other than travel to Bitterne, Southampton once every three months. If the group expands to the point where we need to meet in a larger venue in Southampton, there'll be a nominal fee to cover this. Meetups can also be live-streamed.
Get to know colleagues who share similar energy psychology interests.
Explore therapeutic integration strategies for these practices.
Peer supervision.
Develop your referral network.
A place to relax and recharge.
Enjoy group and paired energy psychology practices to promote everyone's wellbeing.
'Energy Psychology is a contemporary application of methods that are at least 4,500 years old... that provide you with potent tools for navigating your way through life's challenges more skilfully, more effectively and more joyfully.'
Feinstein, Eden and Craig.
