Processwork UK

Who we are

We are a facilitator and psychotherapist training organisation. Our approach is grounded in Processwork. 

Processwork is a comprehensive and evolving model focusing on facilitating awareness at individual, relationship and collective levels. It has its roots in Jungian psychology, Taoism, indigenous traditional wisdom, justice movements, systems theory and quantum physics. Processwork was originally developed by Dr Arnold Mindell and colleagues in the 1980s.

Processwork and its sister methodology, Worldwork are applied in a wide range of fields including:

• psychotherapy and coaching for individuals, relationships and teams
• community facilitation and conflict resolution
• supporting leadership and organisational change
• working with the arts and the creative process
• working with individuals and families dealing with serious illness and loss
• and much more …
   

We offer training in masters’ level diploma programmes with a Psychotherapy training track (UKCP accredited)  and Worldwork facilitator training track. We also offer a one year programme and a range of events and shorter courses which can serve as a general introduction to Processwork and/or to learn about specific applications of Processwork. These are open to the general public and to practitioners for continued professional development (CPD).

Known familiarly as Processwork UK, our organisation came into being in 1988 and in 2006 registered as a charity called the Research Society for Process Oriented Psychology (UK) Limited (RSPOPUK). You might see both names: Processwork UK and RSPOPUK – both refer to the UK organisation.

We are part of a worldwide association of Processwork, the International Association of Process Oriented Psychology. Processwork UK (RSPOPUK) is an organisational member of the UKCP Humanistic & Integrative Psychotherapy College (HIPC). We work closely with our partner organisation, CFOR and often collaborate on some of our trainings and projects. 

We at ProcessworkUK stand in solidarity with Black Lives Matter and recognise racism as a highly corrosive and chronic dynamic in our societies. We will continue (to seek) to address structural racism within our own organisation, to inform and educate ourselves and to process unconscious bias, privilege, oppression and internalised oppression in the context of social justice and love, in all of our facilitation with individuals and communities.
