Venue

This one day workshop offers counsellors and psychotherapists an opportunity to explore what love means in therapy relationships. We will look at what love means to us in our work and what might stop us talking about it.

There will be theoretical input covering the many aspects of love present in therapy including the sexual, political and spiritual and what an ethic of love might be in practice. The risks, costs and challenges of love in a therapeutic context will be part of the exploration.

The workshop is based on client and therapist experiences and there will be plenty of time for discussion as well as presentation and handouts.
