Deepen your relationship with Focusing

Develop your ability to facilitate a Focusing process for others

Expand Focusing into your life and world!

 

The online Focusing Practitioner Programme is a learning, developing and experiencing process which will take around 15 to 18 months and is aimed to help you integrate Focusing further into your life and/or work and to equip you to introduce others to the Focusing process through one to one teaching and guiding.

The course will support you to facilitate a Focusing process for others, whether by providing Focusing one to one sessions, bringing Focusing in to an existing role such as counselling or another helping profession, or by weaving aspects of Focusing into some other sort of interaction with people.

The course will also support your own unique journey of bringing Focusing into your life or work in whatever way you wish to! For instance, perhaps you have a sense that Focusing can support your creativity, it might be that you wish to see how Focusing can enhance your personal relationships, you may wish to allow a greater connection between Focusing and your spiritual practice to form, or it may be that you’re interested in spreading the word of Focusing out into the world more. There is almost nothing in life that you can’t combine Focusing with!

This programme includes scheduled elements but will also take place at your own pace meaning that you will complete the programme at some point after the taught days and when we both sense that you are ready – allowing for mentoring sessions and your own learning process to take place in a time frame that fits your individual process. A commitment to regular Focusing practice throughout the programme is essential. The written work elements are intended to support your learning and development process rather than being particularly academic in nature.

Topics covered on the Programme will include areas such as

• Clarifying the Focusing process
• Getting the best out of our Focusing partnerships
• Introducing a new person to Focusing – teaching and guiding one to one
• Supporting people through Focusing in helping roles
• Focusing attitudes and values
• Being present in the process
• Communicating about Focusing
• Attunements within Focusing
• The clearing a space process and the background feeling
• Focusing ethics and business issues
• Focusing in the wider world
• Identity, diversity and power in the Focusing realm

The online programme consists of:
