Gordon Adam 

Focusing has been an integral and transformative part of my life for the last 17 years: I Focus several times each week; facilitate a monthly Focusing group; run regular 5-day Focusing Retreats in Dartmoor; offer 'Focusing with Poetry' workshops; and I have been editing the BFA newsletter since 2016

Cathy Rowan 

Focusing has enabled me to transform my life from an existence of micromanaging chronic pain to one of finding myself again. The Focusing process gently created showed me how to feel safe living in my body rather than being stuck in dissociation and freeze which had underpinned much of the pain.

Marta Fabregat 

Focusing for me is like a tree with branches pointing at the universe. A way of coming home, a door opening up to the possibility of Love emerging towards us when we most needed. I offer Focusing alone or as a companion in the process of inquiry as an NVC Trainer and Plant Healing Practitioner.

Hilary Thorn 

Focusing takes you on a journey out of your thinking mind and into your feeling body, connecting you to your inner wisdom with curiosity and compassion. I love to combine it with creativity, exploring how giving the body another language to express itself can be both liberating and surprising!

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...

Angela Hicks 

I first started Focusing in 2002. I soon realised I'd found something special. Focusing was life changing for me and helped me to deal with many issues that had previously been blocking me. I trained as a Focusing practitioner and then a Focusing teacher as I want other to benefit as much as I have.

I have found Focusing to be one of the most gentle, but powerful ways to cut through all the noise and connect with the wisdom in the body.

Shrewsbury

Vajrapriya Moss 

I practice from Shrewsbury UK, having first encountered focusing in 2011. I find the practice of great benefit alongside my spiritual practice (of Buddhism), as well as in digesting the everyday rough-and-tumble of life to see what I feel.

Cambridge

Following my own challenging journey with health, I offer supported focusing sessions and workshops for navigating ongoing physical symptoms like pain, tension and fatigue, and the narratives that come up around living with and showing up in the world with these challenges in daily life.

Lindsay Gibson 

Making art rejuvenates me and Focusing replenishes me. The language of Focusing allows for all of us to make a solid connection with the creative wellspring of our aliveness. The flavour of my Focusing is infused with a reality affirming earthiness and a gentle touch of artistic licence.
