“If there is something hauntingly beautiful or impressive in your dream, just honour it, respect it, recall it, sense it with your body. More will come.”
— Eugene Gendlin

Intention of the Programme

This training is an invitation into a deeper relationship with Focusing as a living practice, a practice that becomes an expression of who you are and how you meet the world.

From the beginning, we’ll honour the rhythm of your readiness. Before the programme begins, I offer a one-to-one session so we can sit together and sense our mutual resonance. This is a space to explore your questions, desires, and curiosities, and to tune into what this path might awaken in you, not only in your work or practice, but in the wider ecology of your life.

This programme prepares you to become a Focusing Practitioner through the standards of the International Focusing Institute, while offering the depth of my Sensed Ecology pedagogy, a way of learning that listens to the body as part of the living world. Through this, we’ll cultivate not only the foundations of guiding others, but a deeper capacity to accompany life as it moves through us and those we support.

Prerequisites

To enter the training, you need to have completed a Focusing Skills course or its equivalent.

A personal one-to-one meeting with me is also part of the entry process. This allows us to sense together whether this programme supports where you are now in your process, and whether it aligns with the next step your inner knowing is calling for.

Programme Details – Timing & Rhythm

In Sensed Ecology, we respect the natural timing of inner unfolding. Learning and integration have their own rhythm, and this training holds space for that.

The core programme takes place over 12 months, with structured group learning, mentoring, practice partnerships, and experiential depth. The apprenticeship and mentorship phase continues for an additional 6 months (total of 18 months), allowing space for your unique process of becoming. After this period It will be up to you and I am committed to be your side if that is what you need.

If more time is needed, we will continue in a way that respects both your forward movement and life’s organic timing. Certification is not about meeting a fixed endpoint, but about arriving at a shared sense of readiness. This is sensed through mutual reflection between you, myself, your second mentor, and your fellow practitioners in training.

What Makes This Programme Unique

This Practitioner Path honours all of the core competencies of Focusing: guiding, presence, partnership dynamics, ethical practice, and ongoing self-awareness. And it is held within the field of Sensed Ecology, a way of being and learning that invites you into relationship with your body’s wisdom as part of the greater ecology of life.

You will be supported to:

• Deepen your trust in the living process within yourself and others.

• Cultivate your capacity to guide and accompany from a place of embodied presence.

• Explore how your own Focusing practice and way of being are uniquely shaped by your connection to nature, place, and inner sensing.

• Develop an ethical and relational sensitivity rooted in listening to both human and more-than-human worlds.
