For Counsellors, Coaches, Therapists

Hello

The Tree of Life Process
An embodied, experiential approach for counsellors, therapists and coaches

The Tree of Life Process is a ten-week, practitioner-only, embodied and experiential journey for counsellors, therapists and coaches who value depth, personal process and lived change as much as theory and technique.

This offering is for practitioners who know that meaningful growth does not happen solely through thinking, analysing or acquiring new models, but through experience, expression, embodiment and relationship with what emerges beneath the surface. It is for those who are willing to step into their own process rather than remaining only in the role of helper, teacher or expert.

You are not asked to change, abandon or replace your existing modality or theoretical orientation. Whatever framework or approach you already work within is respected and welcomed. 

This process sits alongside your professional identity, enriching it through lived experience rather than prescribing a new way of working.

This is not a training in techniques to be copied or replicated. It is an experiential process entered for yourself, where learning happens through participation, reflection, witnessing and integration. Any insights that later inform your professional work arise organically through lived experience, not instruction.

The Tree of Life Process unfolds online, over ten weeks at a steady, humane pace. We begin with an orientation and materials-gathering week, allowing time to settle into the group, prepare resources, and establish confidentiality, consent and shared responsibility for the container. This ensures that no one feels rushed, pressured, or behind before the work begins.

From there, the process moves gradually through the Tree of Life itself. We explore beginnings and background, roots, trunk and branches, before entering the territory of hopes and dreams.

Time is intentionally allowed not only for everyday life but for deepening, repetition and revisiting where needed.

Some stages unfold over more than one week, recognising that embodied work does not move in straight lines.

The work is guided through invitation rather than demonstration. You will not be shown what to make or how it "should" look. Instead, you are invited to work intuitively with mixed media, mark-making, collage and other expressive forms, allowing your own unconscious and embodied knowing to lead. Ideal for complete beginners to creative therapies using art materials. Attention is given not only to what is created, but to how it feels to create it – including inner critic, hesitation, resistance, ease, shadow, unconscious process, curiosity and pleasure.

Space is held within the process for grief, loss and the reclaiming of what has been interrupted, denied or postponed, alongside strengthening, resourcing and integration. You are supported to return to any part of the Tree of Life that needs further attention, adjustment or care as the process unfolds.

The closing phase of the work is held consciously and respectfully. Time is given for integration, witnessing and reflection, allowing you to put words to what has shifted, what has been learned, what was loved, what was difficult, and how the journey continues beyond the group. The process ends with acknowledgement and celebration of the Tree of Life you have created and the relationship you have developed with it.

The time spent participating in the Tree of Life Process can be counted as continuing professional development (CPD) for your professional body. As with all CPD, practitioners are responsible for recording and reflecting on their learning in line with the requirements of their own organisation.

This process is open only to qualified counsellors, therapists and coaches who hold their own professional body membership, ethical framework, insurance and supervision. It is not suitable for trainees.

The Tree of Life Process runs over ten weeks online, no Lives, and is offered at a fee of £695. Payment plans are an option.

The next cohort is planned to begin on 1 March 2026. Group numbers are intentionally kept small to protect depth, containment and relational presence.
