Halina Rozensztrauch 

Embodiment is not just listening to the body but listening through the body - that’s been a life-reorienting and enriching perspective that Focusing opened so tangibly. The trust that not knowing becomes knowing moment by moment became irreversible, so here I am, open to explore and inquire with you

Suzi Mackenzie 

I rediscovered Focusing in 2008 when I was training as a counsellor: Something in me knew that I needed it! I found that while I knew I needed to empathise with and accept myself, I didn’t always manage it and Focusing showed me how to do this. Focusing has been...

Coimbra

Gonçalo Moreira 

By allowing our essence of peace and compassion to illuminate our felt experience, we can flourish. This process is unique to each person. For me, attentive listening and a beginner’s mind are essential to be fully available to support this journey of growth. It is a process that is not linear, but

Focusing has brought clarity, kindness, and deep presence into my life. I’m especially interested in its connection with non-dual inquiry and love sharing its transformative potential with others.

Rob Foxcroft 

Meeting focusing was a homecoming: 'These are my people. I knew this all my life. Now I have friends in this inner world.' Focusing and listening have carried my life forward for many years. It has been a joy and a privilege to share focusing with others, and to listen to their inward explorations.

I'm something of an old timer with Focusing - I've been immersed in it for most of my adult life. It's a reflective practice that finds its way into most things I do. I've also been studying neuroscience for a long time - Focusing helps in understanding how our brains and bodies work.

Peter Gill 

I came across Focusing on a retreat in 2003, and since then I have not looked back. It has made a huge difference to my life. For me it is much more than a therapeutic tool: it connects to a whole approach to living that brings wisdom and compassion to all that life bring us.
