Welcome to The Solent Group of Psychotherapists and Counsellors website.

The Solent group for Psychotherapists and Counsellors is a group based around the Solent area, including West Sussex, for counsellors and psychotherapists who enjoy spending time with like-minded professionals. It regularly organises lectures and workshops for members. These are usually held in Chichester and all members are invited to attend. Meetings usually start with informal shared lunch and members may also bring a guest.

We are currently finalising our programme for 2010 -2011. Details of the programme are now on the website. Please look at Upcoming Events. The programme of talks is as follows:

16 October 2010  Sam Baeza   Working with paedophile men

The group usually meets at the Friends' Meeting House

Our lectures and workshops are varied and include a wide range of interests. In the last few years, for example, we have had a Valerie Sinason talking about working with trauma, Judith woodhead talking about the process of becoming real and an experiential drum workshop! We welcome new members to group. To become a member you need to be a qualified psychotherapist or counsellor or working in a related field.
