Michael Swales Therapist London

Therapy and wellbeing workshops

Alongside individual and couples therapy, I also work with groups, businesses, charities, social enterprises and organisations where appropriate.

This may include workshops, group therapy, recovery-focused support, trauma-informed sessions, relationship and communication work, or wellbeing support for staff and client groups.

The focus is always shaped around the people attending, the setting and the purpose of the work.

Therapy at your pace

Support for groups, teams and organisations

Workshops and group support can be helpful for organisations that want thoughtful, therapeutic input around emotional wellbeing, relationships, trauma, addiction recovery, communication or workplace pressure.

I may work with:

  • Businesses and workplace teams
  • Charities and social enterprises
  • Recovery communities
  • Staff groups
  • Client groups
  • Organisations supporting people through trauma, addiction or emotional difficulty
  • Groups wanting reflective, therapeutic or psychoeducational support

This work can be shaped around the needs of the group, rather than delivered as a generic wellbeing session.

If you are looking for broader support with staff wellbeing beyond a workshop, see workplace wellbeing.

What to expect

Bespoke support shaped around your group

Workshops and group sessions should be shaped around the people attending and the purpose of the work.

Arrange an initial call (free)

Some organisations may need reflective group support. Others may need a workshop around relationships, communication, addiction recovery, emotional wellbeing, trauma-informed practice or ADHD awareness.

The work may be therapeutic, educational, reflective or a combination of these, depending on the setting.

Before agreeing any workshop or group support, we can discuss the aims, audience, format, boundaries and what would feel useful and appropriate.

Topics can range from relationship workshops on patterns and communication to broader mental health and wellbeing workshops on stress, burnout and emotional wellbeing.
