SUMMARY:Private Practice/Business Development Peer Supervision - ONLINE - monthly
DESCRIPTION:Private Practice/Business Development Group – Peer Supervision. ONLINE\, monthly. \nSunday\, 28th of June\, 3-4pm. £25 to contribute to the running costs of our project\, which is not for profit.  \nThis Peer Supervision group follows the material presented and discussed in the online private practice marketing workshop with Cindy Gale – if you missed it\, you can still buy her presentation. \nIt is a monthly peer supervision group for all colleagues interested in developing their private practice or any other business venture they are working on. We will share our tips and experiences with marketing\, advertising\, practice development\, and all other business skills acquired. Topics discussed so far were marketing\, SEO\, social media strategies\, where to find good experts\, how to develop specialisms for private work and promote them locally\, in partnership with other services and colleagues. \nReasons: \n\nBecause Business Skills are not part of our training but they should be.\nBecause our ‘product’ is unique as is complex and needs to be clinically and ethically sound in order to be of good quality – ‘business’ and ‘marketing’ therefore need to be thought about in a more holistic way.\nBecause ‘mental health’ has become a huge market and our profession is under threat from venture capital firms (platformisation) and other bigger-scale for-profit businesses which seek to exploit therapists and customers – we therefore must work together to protect our practice spaces\, integrity\, and clients.\n\nAction: to sign up\, please email therapists.cafe@protonmail.com

SUMMARY:Psychoanalysis Cafe - Therapists Cafe for Psychodynamic/-analytic Orientations
DESCRIPTION:Psychoanalysis Cafe – Therapists Cafe for Psychodynamic/-analytic orientations – in Person\, Bond St \nBooking (closes 24 hours before Event start): https://events.humanitix.com/psychoanalysis-cafe-september-2026-therapists-cafe-for-psychodynamic-analytic-orientations \nThis is an in-person meeting for therapists of psychodynamic/-analytic orientations to come together\, talk about what moves us personally and professionally\, support and encourage each other\, and network/collaborate over coffee and cake. The event is also open to colleagues interested in analytic/-dynamic approaches but not exclusively trained – but it would then be good if you have some experience with psychodynamic/-analytic therapy yourself. This is to ensure that we share a common frame of reference to create a community experience of being seen and understood. \nThere will be an hour of a closed ‘sharing round’ followed by informal networking. In this round\, everyone has time to speak about what currently moves them\, but you are free to share as much or as little as you like. \nThis event is for registered therapists only – trainees welcome but details of training need to be provided. This is a non-profit initiative – ticket price covers room rent and snacks. \nThe event will gain 1.5 hours of CPD – please see ‘How the Cafes work’ on our website. \nBy completing your booking\, you agree to our Terms & Conditions. https://therapists.cafe/terms-conditions/

SUMMARY:Therapists (Screen) Writing Group
DESCRIPTION:Therapists (Screen) Writing Group\nBooking: https://events.humanitix.com/therapists-screen-writing-group-september-2026 \nThis is a group we are developing for therapists interested in developing skills in screen writing\, or other creative writing such as novels. \nIt emerged from the recognition that many of us are interested in creative stories and how they are told\, and events for discussing and analysing films or other creative works are passionately attended by therapists. For example\, the Psychoanalytic Film Festival organised by the Institute of Psychoanalysis https://psychoanalysis.org.uk/civicrm-event/1962 the Film Club at 10 Windsor Walk https://www.10windsorwalk.org.uk/events/ \nor the Facebook group Psychoanalysis Goes to the Movies https://www.facebook.com/groups/1544839415632398/ \n  \nThis group is facilitated by a psychodynamic colleague with a background in film studies and supported by Dr Nicola Diamond who taught Film Psychoanalysis and Culture at the Tavistock Clinic for many years https://www.drnicoladiamond.com/about/psychoanalytic-psychotherapist-nicola-diamond as well as Stephen Gyllenhaal\, Hollywood film producer and trauma therapist\, who wants to support the mission of encouraging therapists to write meaningful scripts. \nThe group designed to provide a fun and light-hearted intro to creative screen writing by means of developing one’s own ‘movie character’ and have them engage in collectively constructed plot-lines. The group is suitable for beginners but also for colleagues already experienced and perhaps even published or credited with previous work. We will periodically invite experts from the film world to provide guidance. \n  \nWe are also developing the group so it can also serve as a ‘sounding board’ for colleagues who want help with developing a particular piece of writing. \n  \nPlease do not feel any pressure – the group is designed as a stimulating and relaxing Friday evening activity\, not another course with a to-do list. \n  \n£15 per event to contribute to room rent and snacks \n  \nThe Cake for the event is from the Luminary Bakery (www.luminarybakery.com) which is a social enterprise helping women who have experienced domestic violence and trauma return to the work market. It is a business with a therapeutic mission\, led with extraordinary care\, which serves as a good example of what a ‘Psychologically Informed Environment’ (PIE) can achieve if the philosophy is taken out of the consulting room. \n  \nCPD: 1.5 hours with certificate. Online | In-person | Hybrid \nThese groups are for therapists only. Therapeutic qualification and registration with a UK accrediting body (UKCP\, BACP\, HCPC\, BABCP\, analytic institutes etc) will need to be verified upon booking.
