Conference Overview
This year we have two experiential keynote
presentations thus bringing together a focus on the
body in increasing therapist presence and mindfulness
as a means to choose where to focus attention and
open ourselves to details of present experience. These
will be followed by our usual variety of workshops
from different therapy modalities offering
opportunities to network and share working practices
and current thinking in Wales.
