Sound & Soma: Harness the therapeutic power of your voice
with Cordelia Zafiropulo
Embark on a transformative journey with this six-week Neuro-Sensory Voice Work (NSVW) series. It is designed for those seeking to deepen their connection to body and voice, enhance emotional resilience, and use sound as a tool for healing. Starting with foundational principles, you’ll build awareness of bodily sensations and learn how sound can ground and orient you.
NSVW is a trauma-informed modality, grounded in an understanding of Polyvagal Theory, which includes the more primitive and complex hierarchical responses of the nervous system. We apply this theory to voice work as a crucial component that ensures a gentle, accessible method for healing and self-expression.
For those who find breathwork challenging, voice can become a bridge to self-regulation, helping participants explore emotions, release tension, and access their core vitality. The trauma-informed nature of this work ensures a safe and paced approach, making it ideal for personal growth or professional integration.
Join the full six-week course, or take individual sessions.
Places on this CPD series are limited. Book yours now!
A Taste of Gestalt Therapy: Awareness, creativity and contact in the here and now
with Claire Asherson Bartram
Gestalt is a German word meaning ‘whole’ in the sense of the whole being a sum of its parts. In Gestalt therapy this means the whole person, mind body and spirit. Among its many roots are Gestalt Psychology (different from therapy), Field theory, Existentialism, Body psychotherapy, Phenomenology, Psychodrama, Buber’s I-and-thou and Zen Buddhism.
In this workshop Claire will briefly introduce key aspects of Gestalt theory with experiential explorations to illustrate. The afternoon will be taken up with a Gestalt group experience. You will gain an overview of Gestalt theory of Gestalt in practice, and hopefully some personal awareness.
Claire Asherson Bartram is a senior psychotherapist and supervisor, in private practice with individuals, couples and groups in private practice. Claire qualified as a Gestalt Therapist in 1991 and has been working in the field since then. She spent several years, from 2012 teaching Humanistic Theory and Counselling skills, and supervising at the Minster Centre, and now is a member of the research team.

Certificate in Body Psychotherapy: Developing embodied relational resonance
with Anne Marie Keary and Kimcha Rajkumar
Our bodies are shaped by our experience, and it is how we come to know ourselves, and the world. The practise of Body Psychotherapy offers a route to support us in opening by addressing our embodiment directly. The therapeutic relationship is an embodied relational communication and the more we learn to make more use of our felt experience, the deeper our therapeutic contact can be.
This certificate course is suitable for counsellors who want to gain understanding of how to incorporate working with the body in their therapy practise. It is also suitable to Minster graduates who want to consolidate and expand their learning after completing the 2nd year Body and Psychotherapy module. It is open to practicing psychotherapists, counsellors and finalist students from the Minster Centre, and other institutions.
After a successful first year, this well-received course is returning for 2025/2026. Places are limited and applications are now open. Find out more here.
