The following offerings are the groups and workshops currently either run or recommended by our psychotherapists and counsellors.
Please contact the respective group leader for more details or to reserve a place.
Boarding School Survivor Workshops
Workshops for adult ex-boarder men and women
Course in single gender groups of 12 to 16 participants with two trained facilitators.
A non-residential 4-day course held over 2 weekends with a month or so in between. Participants must commit for both weekends.
These groups now run bi-annually, both in spring and autumn, on roughly similar dates each year. Early booking is advised since Boarding School Survivors often have to turn candidates away.
Venue: North London, adjacent Hampstead Heath.
Some bursaries available. B&B list sent on request. Download the workshop web brochure.
NB. Both weekends must be attended since they are an integral part of the whole course.

We have designed this group to be in a slow, open format. We will not make assumptions about the effects of your boarding, or ‘boarding school syndrome’, but will focus on exploration, compassionate curiosity, and learning from each other’s experience. It will be a supportive, online space for us to bring ourselves, however we are, and to share ourselves if or when we feel ready.
The group will meet via Zoom on the first Monday each month from 7 pm to 9 pm. We are asking for a commitment of 4 months to begin with, and then 2 months’ notice in advance of leaving. The absolute maximum number of participants will be 20.
Cost:
£40 per evening
