SUMMARY:‘’Listening for the Self: Jung and the Ego/Self axis’’ - Julian Masters\, Jungian Analyst
DESCRIPTION:Julian will introduce and explore a topic that is arguably a keystone in analytical psychology: namely the Self and its relation to the ego. If Jung’s psychology can be said to be essentially a psychology of Self – as distinct from an ego psychology – then what is this Self? What can we say about it? How does it relate to ego? How do we work creatively with it? In this talk Julian will look at the Self in everyday life\, psychotherapy and in the beginning as we come into the world. \nJulian Masters is a Jungian analyst. He trained in London with the BPF (British Psychotherapy Foundation). He currently teaches on BPF’s public dream workshops\, MSc course\, introductory course and training theory program. He teaches also on the WMIP analytical psychotherapy training in Birmingham. He is a member of BJAA (British Jungian analytic Association) and the IAAP (International Association of Analytical Psychology). He lives in Oxford where he works with adults in private practice. Julian is also a musician\, composer and writer.

SUMMARY:Loss\, Loyalty and Love: Navigating the Hidden Complexities of Working with Adoption - Jenny Pillar
DESCRIPTION:Jenny Pillar will speak on “Loss\, Loyalty and Love: Navigating the Hidden Complexities of Working with Adoption.”\n\n\nUntil recently\, the law in the UK prohibited counsellors from working with clients where their presenting issue was adoption (whether their own or someone in their family). Now that the law has changed to allow counsellors to work with adults who want to discuss adoption\, what does this mean for practitioners? Is what we already do in counselling practice enough or are there pockets of knowledge we may be missing for this client group? \nIn this talk\, Jenny will examine some of the issues that arise in work around adoption and how these differ from work with other client groups\, especially thinking about attachment trauma and how an adopted person’s early life experiences impact on their relationships throughout life. \nJenny Pillar completed her therapy training at the University of Manchester in 2012 and has practiced in a number of settings including the NHS\, youth counselling\, men’s counselling and running a staff support service for a global NGO. She is the Founder and Clinical Director of Counselling Carers – a social enterprise that works with carers from all walks of life. She has a particular interest in supporting adopters\, foster carers and others who care for children with early life trauma and uses an approach informed primarily by Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy. Alongside her role at Counselling Carers\, she is also a psychotherapist in private practice.

SUMMARY:Family Therapy Talk - Elisa Gusmini & Ferdinando Salamino
DESCRIPTION:“When is it appropriate for a therapist to think about family work?” \n\nSystemic family thinking as a perspective\, rather than a modality.\nIs it all about family? The importance of the broader social landscape: social graces\, intersectionality and the importance of self-biography when working with families and clients.\nThe importance of understanding the therapist’s positioning when working systemically.\nThe value of reframing: from deconstructing narratives to repositioning the Self\nA case example\n\n  \nWe trained at the European Institute of Systemic-relational Therapies in Milan\, where we qualified as systemic family therapists in 2008. \nWe worked together as a systemic team since\, in close connection with local charities and social services. \nWe decided that working together ten hours a day was not enough\, so we got married and moved to the UK\, where we work as the systemic family therapy team at Broad Horizons Therapeutic Services\, Northampton\, and as senior lecturers at the local University. \nFerdinando currently leads the Foundation in Systemic Family Practice at Oxford-Brookes.

SUMMARY:…will not be televised - Tom Tomaszewski
DESCRIPTION:Tom Tomaszewski is a UKCP-accredited psychoanalytic psychotherapist and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) Consultant working in private practice in Oxford and London\, England. He specialises in supporting individuals struggling with addiction\, dependency\, and the effects of oppression. He recently spoke ‘On No’ at the 2025 Neuropsychoanalysis Association congress in New York. His paper\, ‘Be somebody else: Improvisation\, momentum and psychoanalysis as social psychotherapy’\, will shortly to be published in the British Journal of Psychotherapy and is something of an introduction to the kinds of thing I will be talking about. \n…will not be televised \nWhat happens when we speak about working with trauma\, when we try to take a history\, and when repetition turns singular experiences into generalities? This talk\, which will have plenty of space for questions\, includes a short film made for the event\, Revolution\, a demonstration and discussion of Francine Shapiro’s EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing)\, and an opportunity to consider how you might think about revolution\, and what psychotherapy is if it isn’t revolutionary\, without ending up going round in circles.

SUMMARY:The therapist’s experience of working with clients who appear obese - Linda Jones\, MSt. Psychodynamic Practice
DESCRIPTION:This workshop is an opportunity to think about how as therapists we relate to our client’s bodies and the feelings that are evoked about our own. I will share the results and discussion of a research project which was part of my master’s dissertation looking into the lived experience of therapists working with clients with obesity. Participants will be encouraged to share their own experiences within the group. \nDr Linda Jones\, MSt. Psychodynamic Practice  \nI am a Psychotherapeutic counsellor offering short- and long-term individual counselling to adults of all ages and work as  a tutor at Oxford University teaching communication skills to medical students.  I have more than 30 years’ experience of working with all ages in my medical role as a GP\, with a special interest in the challenges of living with chronic disease\, chronic pain and medically unexplained symptoms. I witnessed the struggles of patients with weight issues and the unacknowledged stigma they experienced within the health system which led to my interest in researching this area.

SUMMARY:Shining a Light on Death - Illuminating the Wisdom Within - Wendy Halford
DESCRIPTION:Arguably\, the ability to feel comfortable around the subject of death is one of the great gifts of life. As a human\, you will face your own death and likely the deaths of loved ones. As a therapist\, you will often hear about death in relation to your clients too. This brief talk will include a look at some of the findings from the Lancet Commission on the Value of Death (Jan 2022)\, a description of “normal dying\,” a reminder that our own “wisdom within” is always available to us.  I will include considerations and suggestions when supporting people who are dying\, and general planning ideas around our own deaths.  There will also be a 5 minute film about “normal dying”. \nWendy is a former Registered Nurse who trained as a Soul Midwife in 2013. She facilitates educational workshops in death literacy for professionals and individuals\, encouraging participants to become ambassadors in their own circles for conversations around death and dying. In 2023 she was part of the organising committee for Kicking the Bucket\, a festival of living and dying\, which took place in and around Oxford.

SUMMARY:Psychotherapy with Survivors of War and Complex Loss - Sushila Dhall
DESCRIPTION:Complex/multiple traumatisation and complex loss can cause people fleeing war to become highly dysregulated\, lose trust in life and sense of self\, be unable to relax\, sleep or engage in life\, due to powerful flashbacks and intrusive bad memories\, and get physically ill from the impact of extreme overwhelm and loss. How do we work in psychotherapy with people who are very easily re-traumatised and have no secure base?  Using anonymised case examples from Refugee Resource\, I will describe how we can help people to come into the present\, process extreme trauma and start to live again\, even while they may be homeless\, do not know where family members are and/or do not know if they will be allowed to live safely in the UK. \nSushila Dhall has been working as a psychotherapist for 27 years\, and has worked for the NHS\, privately\, and for Refugee Resource in the Counselling Service for 21 years. She is also a trainer and supervisor.

SUMMARY:The Myths and Truths of Female Violence - Anna Motz
DESCRIPTION:In this talk Forensic Psychotherapist Anna Motz explores the taboo of female violence\, and its denial\, describing how the idealisation of women renders invisible their potential for aggression and re-enactment of trauma. This is particularly true for mothers\, who are especially idealised and romanticised. The difficulty of seeing women\, in their complexity\, agency and capacity for violence\, has implications for the assessment and treatment of all female offenders. Despite evidence that women can and do commit acts of violence\, against others\, notably their intimate partners\, their children and\, less frequently\, against members of the public\, the denial of female violence remains an entrenched social prejudice. As Welldon revealed\, the intergenerational transmission of maternal violence can be traced across at least three generations of women. Using clinical material to illustrate the theory of maternal narcissism Motz will elaborate on essential treatment issues in working with mothers who have committed serious acts of violence\, and also highlight the need to keep hope alive in these complex and often tragic cases. \nAnna Motz is a psychoanalytic psychotherapist\, consultant clinical and forensic psychologist\, forensic psychotherapist and author of several books\, most recently A Love that Kills: Stories of Forensic Psychology and Female Violence. She was  past president of the International Association for Forensic Psychotherapy and is a  consultant for the  EOS service at HMP Bronzefield working with Central and Northwest London NHS Foundation Trust for high risk complex women.  She is also a supervisor\, lecturer and expert in criminal and civil cases and has worked in forensic services for over 30 years.

SUMMARY:A Guilty Victim\, Recovering after Trauma and Abuse - The Story of a Case Study - Toby Ingham
DESCRIPTION:In this presentation\, I will introduce the story of my work with William Smith and the book\, A Guilty Victim (Karnac\, March 2025)\, that grew out of it. A Guilty Victim tells the true story of a man’s recovery from grooming and sexual abuse at a Catholic boarding school in Ireland in the 1970s. It is an account of psychotherapy with an adult survivor\, written with the client’s full consent. The book presents a unique insight into the process of psychotherapy in action\, with nine moving illustrations created by the client to tell his life story. \nAbout Toby: \nToby Ingham is a UK-based psychotherapist and supervisor and member of the BPF. A former Clinical Director of South Bucks Counselling\, his writing has been commended in the British Journal of Psychotherapy.
