“Working with Dreams in Psychotherapy”
An Online CPD Training for Psychotherapists
Dreams are a universal and natural expression of the psyche’s movement toward balance, healing, and wholeness.Their rich imagery and symbolic narratives arise from the dynamic unconscious, offering us profound insights that support psycho-emotional and spiritual development.
In psychotherapy, dreamwork provides a powerful and clinically effective way to engage clients beyond cognitive processing. By shifting attention from thinking to felt experience, working with dreams in therapy connects clients to their emotions, bodily sensations and intuitive responses. This process can lead to breakthrough insights, catalyze deep emotional transformation, and uncover inner guidance that may not emerge through dialogue alone.
This 12-week online CPD training offers a comprehensive and experiential introduction to working with dreams in psychotherapy practice. Drawing on phenomenological, archetypal, and alchemical approaches, the course equips therapists with a structured and integrative methodology for dream exploration.
About the Training
Each fortnightly session includes:
- A theory presentation exploring key aspects of dreams and dreamwork in psychotherapy
- Group discussion and space for questions
- A facilitated experiential component, where participants explore each other’s dreams in a safe, confidential setting
- Demonstrations of practical techniques by the facilitator, with opportunities to practise these in small groups
Participants are welcome to bring their own dreams, or client dreams (with prior consent). The facilitator will also offer dream vignettes and examples for exploration and collective learning. Comprehensive handouts are provided and you will receive a CPD Certificate on completion.

- Qualified and trainee psychotherapists, counsellors, and therapeutic practitioners

DreamWork Meets ~ A monthly online dream work group for psychotherapists, counsellors and therapists in training.
We meet once a month via Zoom on Wednesdays from 6–8pm. Each session includes a live dreamwork demonstration facilitated by me, using a dream offered by one of the group members. This is followed by Q&A, group feedback, and time for collaborative exploration.
Participants will then have the opportunity to work with each other’s dreams (subject to level of experience) and can also bring cleint dreams (with prior consent). Guidance and support provided throughout. Active participation is encouraged, whether or not you’re presenting a dream in a given session, as there is much to be gained from observing and engaging in the process.
Each session typically explores 2 to 3 dreams, offering rich material for discussion and reflection. This is a closed and confidential group, creating a safe space for sharing personal and client material.
All participants will be invited to join the private DreamWork Facebook Group—a space to build community, share reflections, and deepen your personal and professional dreaming practice.
