Group Therapy Chiswick

Groups are often formed around particular themes including addictions, men, women, alcohol, parents, singles, gay and lesbian, anxiety etc. People can feel supported because other members have had similar experiences and this can be helpful in being able to talk more easily about difficult experiences. Through this process people often gain insight from hearing from others and being able to discuss their own experiences. Sometimes Group Therapy is used to supplement Individual Therapy and sometimes as a bridge between Individual Therapy and ending Therapy. Group Therapists often work with co-facilitators and will have experience of Group work.

At Nicholas Rose & Associates we are able to provide Group Therapy in Chiswick with our Senior therapist John Dinwoodie experienced in  

Pesso Boyden Psychotherapy

PBSP is a uniquely personal way of realising our potential to live a more fulfilling and satisfying life.

It works gently and imaginatively with problems we have in our present life and traces their roots in childhood, to then construct a new memory of precisely what was needed for healing relief, with the right kinship figure, at the right moment in our personal past. 

Pesso Boyden does not seek to change the past, it offers supplemental possibilities, allowing group members to experience feelings of safety, support, security love and protection that may have been missing in their childhood.

Pesso Boyden Psychotherapy originated in dance. Husband and wife choreography team Diane Boyden & Albert Pesso looked for ways for dancers to express a full range of emotions. Over 35 years they sythesized known methods of Psychotherapeutic healing, particularly bodywork to develop a remarkable method of healing childhood deficits, even pre-verbal trauma, in 1:1 therapy and in small groups. 

This groupwork, where individual therapy is enhanced through appointing group members to take the roles of kinship figures, can resonate very deeply with all group members. 

Recent discoveries in neuroscience demonstrate new wiring can occur in the brain as a result of Psychotherapy. This is the explicit objective of PBSP.

In addition to his other qualifications and training, John Dinwoodie has completed the 3 year training in the Pesso Boyden System of Psychotherapy (PBSP) with the Pesso Boyden Training Institute in the UK, and continues Supervised practice specific to the method.
