The Therapists Book Club
In 2022 I founded a reading group for therapists and mental health professionals. We meet on Zoom (and more recently for the occasional social!) every 3rd Tuesday of the month from 7.30- 9.00pm. You would be very welcome to join us!
About us
For me, personal and professional development are entwined and luckily, I found that many other therapists echoed my need to spend time with other healers. Therapists from all approaches and practice styles attend our reading group to review and discuss literature, research articles and podcasts within the context of our professional development. Many of our members feel this group provides a useful and supportive space, alongside traditional CPD.
Please note, confidentiality in line with the BACP ethical framework applies. This group is not designed to be used as personal therapy or group supervision.
The group is free to attend, and we welcome trainees.
