Therapy Harley Street

Reflective Supervision Group with Bárbara Godoy 2026
2026-01-23 14:00 - 15:00 (Europe/London) | Online (Zoom) – 10 Dates
All therapists have an original project, an intention, a gut feeling, the reason why they decided to practice. Through training many things are learnt but often this profound and personal purpose can be clouded. This weekly group provides a safe space that promotes a non-judgmental approach. We aim to create a kind of intimacy where practitioners can see themselves clearly whilst getting the support to be who they are. Once the practitioner’s own individual style is discovered a process to master what will become their own personal approach begins. The group is the supervisor, a gentle but firm mirror to observe our work with perspective and generate understanding of the client’s process by taking into account ourselves as co-creators of the therapeutic encounter. A creative and uplifting weekly group that aims to strengthen the therapists’ own existential awareness.

Advanced Supervision Group with Prof Ernesto Spinelli 2026
2026-01-24 10:00 - 13:00
These Master Workshops provide the opportunity to ‘look again’ at our practice and re-view assumptions and expectations regarding being a therapist. “Group supervision sessions seek to provide participants with a safe, yet challenging, space, to consider and address the issues that arise for them when discussing their own, or another participant’s, experience of being a therapist.
Group supervision can be a valuable and enriching experience for all participants since even though the focus may be on a particular supervisee’s account, it is likely that all participants will discover broader issues and concerns that resonate with their own encounters with clients.”
Professor Ernesto Spinelli was Chair of the Society for Existential Analysis between 1993 and 1999 and is a Life Member of the Society. His writings, lectures and seminars focus on the application of existential phenomenology to the arenas of therapy, supervision, psychology, and executive coaching. He is a Fellow of the British Psychological Society (BPS) as well as an APECS-accredited executive coach and coaching supervisor. In 2000, he was the Recipient of the BPS Division of Counselling Psychology Award for Outstanding Contribution to the Profession. And in 2019, Ernesto received the BPS Award for Distinguished Contribution to Practice. His most recent book, Practising Existential Therapy: The Relational World 2nd edition (Sage, 2015) has been widely praised as a major contribution to the advancement of existential theory and practice. Living up to the existential dictum that life is absurd, Ernesto is also the author of an on-going series of Private Eye novels, the most recent of which, Everything Has A Price, was published in 2023.

BPS award for distinguished contribution “An internationally-recognised leader in existential therapy and coaching psychology, Professor Ernesto Spinelli developed and taught the first psychology undergraduate and PhD programmes to focus on counselling and psychotherapy research. He has contributed to a growing interest in, and professional appreciation of, existential therapeutic techniques. Professor Spinelli publications and textbooks are standard reading for many psychotherapy and coaching training programmes around the world. His latest book, Practising Existential Therapy: The Relational World, 2nd edition (2015), was identified as the most influential contemporary text on existential therapeutic practice.” BPS

I find the supervision groups most helpful and supportive on a practical level.

Unlocking Our-Selves 2026: "Dreams and Visions" Tuesdays Group
2026-04-28 18:00 - 19:15
Personal development groups for practitioners with Bárbara Godoy
A playground for therapists to nurture the imagination,
release inhibitions and mobilise therapeutic insights
“Supportive, thought-provoking, emancipating, grounding”

This year, we will explore Dreams as Existential Messages with Bárbara Godoy in collaboration with Dr. Betty Cannon.
“Rather than interpreting, we’ll let the dream speak for itself by role-playing its “characters”—people, animals, objects, even the dreamer. Freud called dreams the “royal road to the unconscious.” Sartre also saw mystery here, but described it as a “mystery in broad daylight”—the mystery of being human. The gap is not between consciousness and the unconscious but between what we live and what we can reflectively grasp and capture in words.
Dreams invite us to loosen rigid self-images. They remind us that we are always more than who or what we think we are. They may appear puzzling or unsettling, not because they are disguised of the unconscious, but because they are acts of pure imagination. Like works of art, they speak in images and symbols. Together, we will create a community of dreams—an extraordinary, shared experierience” – Dr. Betty Cannon

Year Programme
Winter Term: The Dreamer as Orpheus
Orpheus is portrayed as a dreamer who believes that a song can change the world — that art, beauty, and love can overcome fear and oppression. He holds to an almost impossible vision, and that makes him fragile, yet luminous.
Spring Term: On Eurydice and longing
Eurydice embodies the hunger for survival in a world of scarcity, while Orpheus embodies the hunger for beauty and meaning. Their love story becomes a dialogue between pragmatism and idealism, survival and vision.
Autumn Term: On the tragic turning back
We will come to terms with the impossibility of certainty in love and vision — Orpheus’s backward glance is not just a mistake, but the condition of being human: to doubt, to falter, even in the midst of hope.
