Severnside Public Workshops 2026

EXPLORATORY ENCOUNTERS

A series of ten monthly workshops exploring the encounter between patient and therapist.

Each workshop will examine a particular aspect of the work that can challenge our hearts and minds.

How can psychoanalytic thinking help us to understand what is happening?

In person, at 11, Orchard St, Bristol BS1 5EH

Whole day workshops £90 full/£60 trainees
Half day workshops £60 full /£40 trainees

A5 Programme 1-6 V3

The workshops are open to psychotherapists, counsellors and trainees from any ‘school’ and those in related professions, for example social workers, doctors, teachers, psychiatrists). We hope that thinking together about the workshop topics will help us to make sense of experiences that can be painful, distressing or hard to bear for one or both parties in the therapeutic relationship.

The first workshop is in January and at the moment there are still places on that and all subsequent workshops. Have a look at the attached document and click on this link for further information and to book. You can book for as many or as few workshops as you
