Facilitated by senior clinicians from Tavistock Relationships, sessions supports therapists in examining the personal and professional impacts of their therapeutic practice. 

Each two-hour session provides a structured, collaborative setting where each participant will present clinical case material or specific themes from their work for focused group discussion.
