We are delighted that Moya Sarner is going to be running a face to face workshop for us in May. Moya is a London-based psychodynamic psychotherapist working within the NHS, as well as a freelance journalist who has written for The Guardian, The Times, New Scientist and other national outlets, developing a keen eye for the ways in which social and economic structures intrude upon private life. Her book, When I Grow Up (2022), is a study of adulthood. Until December last year she was writing a popular fortnightly column for The Guardian called 'How to build a better Life' about what she was learning both from being in psychoanalysis herself and in her work as a psychotherapist.

In the first part of the workshop, Moya will share something of the events in her own life which led her to write her Guardian columns, and how they made her a better writer and therapist. She will also talk about why she feels it is increasingly crucial that psychotherapists are able to communicate about this thing, 'The Unconscious' in an ordinary and straightforward way outside of the consulting room.

In the second part of the workshop, Moya will facilitate a short creative writing exercise leading on from her talk. We will then discuss some of the writing that emerges, thinking about it in the context of writing for the general public. Please note that clinicians from all therapeutic modalities are very welcome at this workshop and no-one will be forced to share with the rest of the group anything they have written unless they feel comfortable to do so!

HMRC are introducing Making Tax Digital [MTD] to modernise the UK tax system and to make it one of the world’s most digitally advanced tax administrations, aiming for everyone in business to keep digital records. This systemic change will take several years to encompass each taxpayer and therapists [and other sole traders and property renting landlords] are part of the initial transition into MTD from 6th April 2026.

Please join us to understand how you will be affected and what your new reporting responsibilities will be.

Paul Silver-Myer is an accountant and an existential psychotherapist. Some years ago he realised that half of his accountancy practice was about numbers, but the other half was about the people behind those numbers, yet 99% of his accountancy training was about the former. So he signed up for a foundation course in counselling and the rest, as they say, is history. In addition to a small therapy practice, he also prepares tax returns for over 200 therapists and therapy organisations, making full use of his understanding of the business of accountancy and therapy.

With the trauma of war, migration, and the refugee experience, resonating powerfully today, the film’s underlining theme of the role of art in healing is inspiring.

As a young girl, Marika Henriques was hidden from the Nazis in a Budapest cellar. She survived the Second World War only to find herself forced to flee Communist Hungary in her early 20s. Safely in Britain, she trained as a Jungian therapist. But it was the cathartic creation of extraordinary art that helped her to process her childhood trauma over several decades. Now in her 80s, she tells her story for the first time.

The review in The Journal of Analytical Psychology states: “The cumulative impact is assaultive, inspiring, intriguing and moving by turns”

The review in Outside In: “I shall carry this with me as I continue with my own inner work”
