The Groups aims to develop skills, competencies and perspectives that are part of becoming a fully-fledged psychotherapist, as well as providing peer support and opportunity for celebration too!  

Meeting online on a Friday from 10am – 5pm (6 days over 10 months), the groups will be open to trainees who have completed four years of core TA training and achieved their Diploma Exam, and be closed groups with a maximum of 8 members per group.
