In an ever‑evolving therapy field, many practitioners are seeking more than traditional, technique‑heavy CPD events. The Living from the Heart Advanced Supervision & CPD Group is designed to meet this need by offering a nurturing, integrative space for therapists committed to deepening their practice within a humanistic, relational frame for therapists committed to deepening their practice, often working across cultures, identities and countries.
Grounded in integrative humanistic psychotherapy, this approach works with the whole person rather than reducing distress to symptoms or diagnosis. It emphasises connection with heart and soul, and the emotional, relational and spiritual dimensions of therapeutic work, while remaining clinically rigorous and trauma‑informed.
Drawing on Eastern wisdom and Western therapeutic practice, we make space for energy‑aware work, somatic approaches and earth‑based wisdom – in ways that support, rather than bypass, thoughtful clinical thinking.
Many therapists find that conventional CPD formats do not address the realities of holding complex trauma, relational intensity, spiritual crisis or their own resourcing. This group offers a supportive professional community for collaboration, shared learning and ongoing personal growth.
The Living from the Heart Advanced Supervision & CPD Group offers an environment where you can engage deeply with your own unfolding as a therapist while refining and extending your professional skills.
Together we work with advanced clinical thinking and embodied, relational awareness, alongside practices that support collective healing — including simple ritual, shared reflection, and carefully integrated somatic, energetic and earth‑based modalities.
The intention is to create a genuinely healing and learning community, one that sustains you as a person and practitioner, and in turn enriches the lives of the people and communities you serve, particularly suited to therapists who work with complex relationship dynamics and couples, including high‑conflict relationships, separation and re‑coupling, psychosexual themes, attachment injuries, and intergenerational trauma in relationships.
Clinical supervision and CPD group for counsellors and psychotherapists. Exploring culture, race, migration, faith and ancestry as they show up in the therapy room, including cross‑cultural and international contexts.
A place to put the things you can’t write in your notes.
Supervision for therapists who want space to think, feel and make sense of their work on the page and in the body. Experienced relational and couples therapists (including integrative, humanistic, Gestalt, Imago and transpersonal practitioners) who want advanced supervision and CPD in complex relational, erotic, trauma and power dynamics, held within a consciousness‑based, embodied, spiritual frame.
Group Structure and Commitment
The Living from the Heart Advanced Supervision & CPD Circle meets every 8 weeks, so there is enough rhythm for depth and continuity without becoming another weekly obligation. Participants form a steady circle, creating a sense of familiarity and trust over time, while allowing some flexibility if you cannot attend every gathering.
Dates are planned well in advance so that you can arrange your diary and attend as many sessions as possible. This structure supports sustained engagement and allows relationships in the group to deepen at a pace that feels realistic alongside a full clinical practice.
In time, there may also be opportunities for in‑person days or retreat‑style gatherings for those who wish to go further with the work. If and when these are offered, group members will be the first to hear.

Staying resourced and avoiding burnout
Many therapists come to supervision spaces carrying a great deal – complex trauma stories, relational intensity, systemic pressures and their own lives. Over time, this can quietly thin your energy and sense of aliveness in the work. This group explicitly makes room for your resourcing and self‑care, not as an afterthought but as part of ethical, sustainable practice. Together we explore how you can continue to offer depth and presence to others without abandoning your own body, limits and needs.
The Embodied Relational Supervision Circle cohorts are planned to start in Autumn 2026, with dates and times agreed in consultation with those on the waiting list. If you are interested in joining, get in touch so we can sense together whether this is the right fit and timing for you.
Reclaiming your energy as a therapist
In the healing professions, it is easy to prioritise your clients’ wellbeing over your own and to slowly deplete your energy without noticing. As this supervision community grows, there will be opportunities to step back from day‑to‑day practice and tend to your own nervous system, energy and soul life.
In retreat‑style spaces we will explore;
Your energetic anatomy – gentle ways of understanding the structures that support your health, vitality and joy as a practitioner.
Practitioner consciousness – practices that help you stay present, resourced and awake in the work, rather than running on empty.
Sustainable rhythms – realistic strategies for balance and wellbeing, so your commitment to healing is reflected in your own life as well as in your practice. These gatherings are envisaged as 2–3 days of exploration and replenishment, where you can step out of ordinary time, reconnect with yourself, and cultivate practices that support you as both a healer and a human being. Details and dates will be shared with group members as they emerge.
For therapists who want their work to feel alive in the body as well as on the page. An advanced humanistic, integrative supervision space to deepen embodied, relational and trauma‑informed practice, and to plant new seeds in your work and in the wider field of conscious relationships.
Nurturing Growth Through the Living from the Heart Approach
At Living from the Heart, this Advanced Supervision & CPD Circle is dedicated to creating a nurturing environment that supports connection, truthful expression and integration among therapists. It recognises that ongoing professional development is not only about enhancing clinical skills, but also about tending to your own healing and growth at a soul level.
Within a clear humanistic and integrative frame, there is room to stretch your wings and explore practices such as energy‑aware work, somatic approaches and earth‑based wisdom, alongside more familiar therapeutic perspectives. The intention is not to move away from good clinical practice, but to deepen it, in a space where your emotional, cultural and spiritual experience as a therapist can be held with care and curiosity.
This approach supports deep healing and transformation in you as a practitioner, empowering you to inhabit your work with greater integrity, presence and effectiveness. By gently integrating Eastern wisdom with Western psychotherapy, the Living from the Heart approach helps you reconnect with your own essence, deepen self‑awareness, and bring a more holistic, trauma‑informed and multicultural lens to your clinical work.
If you feel called to a supervision and CPD space that honours both your professional responsibilities and your inner life, you are warmly invited to express interest in joining this evolving community of therapists committed to their own growth and to the people they serve.
The Living from the Heart Advanced Skills Group is for experienced professionals who want to deepen and refine their therapeutic practice through a comprehensive, integrative approach.
Here is what you can expect when you join the group;
1. Deepening and broadening your therapeutic skills
- What you seek
You are looking for advanced development that goes beyond technique‑heavy CPD – a place to refine your skills and bring more of your whole self into the work. - Why it matters
Integrating somatic work, energy‑aware approaches, meditation and contemplative tools, and nature‑ and body‑based processes into a solid humanistic, integrative framework allows you to work more effectively and authentically with individuals, couples and groups, without slipping into a script based or purely medicalised model.
2. Working with complex clinical, relational, multicultural, and trauma dynamics
- What you seek
You hold complex material – trauma, attachment injuries, couples and relationship struggles, sexuality, erotic dynamics, spiritual crisis – and need a supervision space that can meet this depth. - Why it matters Having time to slow down with experienced peers, to explore both the clinical picture and the felt sense in your body and the relational field, supports clearer thinking, ethical grounding and more creative responses in your work.
3. Being nourished and witnessed in professional community
- What you seek
You may feel professionally isolated, over‑responsible, or simply tired from holding so much for others, and are looking for a space where you do not have to be the one who is always steady and resourced. - Why it matters
Without a place to be honestly met, burnout, numbness or quiet resentment can begin to build. A consistent, relational container where you can be held as a person as well as a practitioner supports nervous‑system regulation, reduces burnout risk and helps your work stay alive and sustainable over time.
4. Integrating supervision, CPD and your own unfolding as a therapist
- What you seek
You want supervision and CPD that count professionally, but that also honour your ongoing personal and spiritual development as a therapist, supervisor or related practitioner. - Why it matters
When supervision, learning and personal process are held together, you can stay ethically clear, clinically grounded and deeply resourced, so that your practice remains aligned with your values and genuinely transformative for those you serve.
- Interactive Sessions: Encourage critical discussions, role plays, and case studies.
- Experiential Learning: Incorporate practice-based techniques like somatic exercises or guided meditations.
- Reflective Assignments: Include journals, written reflections, or small research projects.
- Supervision and Feedback: Provide opportunities for peer and group supervision to deepen integration.
Participant Testimonials
Living From The Heart; Integrating Energy, Soul-Connection, and Awakening Consciousness in Therapy
Living from the Heart is the integrative framework that underpins this Advanced Supervision & CPD Group. It brings together energy-aware psychotherapy, soul connection and awakening consciousness within a clear therapeutic frame, inviting therapists to work at the meeting place of body, psyche, relationship and spirit.
Grounded in humanistic and integrative psychotherapy, this approach moves beyond a purely medicalised understanding of distress. Rather than working only with symptoms, it attends to the deeper relational, emotional, embodied and spiritual dimensions of experience, while remaining clinically thoughtful, trauma-informed and ethically grounded.
In this group, relationship is understood not simply as an exchange between separate people, but as a living field in which care, influence, pressure and possibility are constantly moving. This allows us to explore how patterns of adaptation, performance, disconnection and protection can shape both therapy and supervision, and how more authentic presence can emerge when those patterns are met with awareness rather than judgment.
Alongside relational depth, we draw on somatic awareness, energetic anatomy, contemplative practice and earth-based wisdom as ways of accessing nonverbal, preverbal and transpersonal layers of experience. The intention is not to replace sound psychotherapy, but to deepen it — helping therapists expand their practitioner consciousness, build resilience, and support healing and wholeness in themselves and those they serve.
At the heart of this work is a shift in the therapeutic conversation; from fixing or managing people toward restoring relationship with self, other, body, soul and the wider living world. In that sense, the group becomes a place where supervision, CPD and consciousness can meet in service of more ethical, embodied and transformative practice.
In time, there may also be opportunities for in‑person days or retreat‑style gatherings for therapists who wish to go further with this work. If and when these are offered, circle members will be the first to hear.
Investment & commitment
The Advanced Supervision & CPD Circle is a closed group of therapists who meet monthly for 3 hours. This allows enough time for in‑depth supervision, experiential practice and shared reflection, while creating a steady sense of community and continuity over time.
– Group size: Up to 8 therapists, to ensure space for each person’s clinical material and process.
– Commitment: I ask that you commit to the circle for an agreed period (for 12 months), so that the group feels safe, stable and deep.
This circle is designed as an advanced, trauma‑informed, multicultural and spiritually‑aware supervision & CPD space. It can form part of your core supervision arrangements, alongside any individual supervision you may already have. You remain responsible for making sure you meet your professional body’s supervision requirements.
I offer a reduced fee for current UKAHPP members, in recognition of my ongoing involvement with the UKAHPP Membership Board. If this applies to you, please mention it when you get in touch.
Joining the circle
The Advanced Supervision & CPD Circle is a semi‑closed group. When a space opens, I invite new members based on developmental fit, clinical focus and the existing group field. This helps the circle feel safe, diverse and well‑held for everyone.
