gift yourself the time and space we all need to feel refreshed, nourished and cherished, so that we can bring our very best selves to our clients and live our personal and professional lives to the full
Are you a psychologist working in private practice?
And would you like…
- a rhythm to the year?
- connection with other psychologists working in private practice?
- the benefits of a retreat in the comfort of your own home?
Perhaps you’re like me…
I love so many aspects of working in private practice and yet I really miss the connection and support of having a team of colleagues around me, as well as the structure and routine of being part of a bigger system (though I definitely don’t miss the politics and rigidity!)
In the middle of each half term, the Roots & Wings Retreat in Daily Life invites you and all your parts to pause, reset and connect, so that you can gain the confidence and clarity that you need to bring your very best to your clients and to live your personal and professional life to the full
