Psychotherapists practise within social, cultural, political, and ecological contexts - whether these are named or not. At the same time, many of us work with depth, symbolic meaning, and transpersonal dimensions of experience that extend beyond the individual and the purely personal.
This reflective practice group offers a contained space to explore how these domains meet in therapeutic work and where tensions, contradictions, and ethical questions emerge.
The group invites thoughtful reflection on how power, difference, social justice, and the more-than-human world live within the therapy room, and within us as practitioners.
Themes will include:
Becoming aware of our unexplored positionality and its impact on the therapeutic relationship;
Recognising and reflecting on spiritual bypass in therapeutic work;
Reflecting on wider systems of oppression in clinical work: capitalism, colonialism, patriarchy and psychological “symptoms”;
How transpersonal and spiritual frameworks can support liberation and care, and where they risk obscuring harm, inequality, or material reality.
This group is for psychotherapists who:
Are interested in social justice, systemic thinking, and their place in therapeutic practice;
Are curious about how positionality, power, and difference shape the therapeutic relationship;
Work with depth, symbolic or transpersonal perspectives and wish to critically reflect on spiritual meaning without bypassing psychological or social realities;
Value nuance, complexity, and reflective dialogue.
Clinical work may be explored where appropriate, within a confidential, ethical frame.
The group will run online from 2pm to 3:30pm, on the following dates: 11 September 2026 | 9 October 2026 | 13 November 2026 | 11 December 2026 | 8 January 2027 | 12 February 2027
