TRAINERS

I am a therapist and trainer with over 25 years experience. Originally a Reichian body therapist, my approach has become broad based and open to the spontaneous and unexpected. I have an MA in Psychoanalytic Studies, and have worked with Process Oriented Psychology and trained as a craniosacral therapist; I am currently involved with ecopsychology and addressing climate change. I have a 25 year old daughter. I have written several books, including Body Psychotherapy: An Introduction; Psychotherapy and Politics; Press When Illuminated: New and Selected Poems; and most recently, Wild Therapy, published by PCCS Books. I live in Calderdale with my partner and grow vegetables.

Stephen Tame
As an experienced psychotherapist, my passion is to create the safe and nurturing conditions for the bodymind to undertake the therapeutic work of healing and growth. I have worked in private practice with adults for many years, and have been employed for some years as a therapist within the state education system, working with troubled children. I am a member of the ERT Practitioners Group, and the Ashburton IPN Forming Group.

Allison Priestman
I am an experienced Embodied-Relational Psychotherapist, Supervisor and Trainer; working in private practise in Stroud, Gloucestershire. I have co-led the Embodied-Relational Therapy training with Nick Totton for the past four years. In 2006 I initiated GLOSNET (the Gloucestershire Networking group for Counsellors and Psychotherapists) a county wide professional resource for practitioners. My aim is to create safe, stimulating and stretching training and supervisory learning environments. I enjoy gardening, nature and dance.
