Working in an ongoing therapy group provides us with the opportunity to learn about how we relate to ourselves and others. Witnessing others work in a trusting environment can permit us to share more of ourselves and get feedback on how others see and respond to us. We can develop new ways of communicating and connecting with others.
A Pesso Boyden Therapy Group in Islington, North London with Chloë Chancellor and Kate McGeever
Six Fridays over a year Feb – Nov 2027
Are you feeling anxious, stuck, depressed or isolated in your personal life or at work? If so, it may be due, in large part, to experiences from the past. Pesso Boyden therapy (PBSP) offers an effective way of enabling you to understand and repair past traumas, wounds and losses so that you can make the changes in your life that will help you to move forward.
Pesso Boyden therapy is a powerful, and deeply respectful, therapeutic method that works in a group context, using objects and role players. As well as experiencing healing and gaining new perspectives, clients often notice increased pleasure, satisfaction, meaning and connectedness in their lives following a client session (called a structure).
The involvement and good will of the group contribute significantly to the healing experience. Furthermore, group members frequently derive therapeutic benefit from taking part in someone else’s work, as well as in simply witnessing it.
The group will meet on six Fridays over the year, and each member of the group will get the opportunity to have two “structures” during the year. The group will be limited to 9 participants.

Pesso Boyden Psychotherapy Personal Development Workshops
Facilitated by Florence Terry and Chloë Chancellor
Two-day workshops:
13th and 14th November 2026
Where: Islington, North London
Pesso Boyden is a mind-body therapy which aims, step by step, to free you to be who you truly are, to experience more pleasure, satisfaction, meaning and connectedness, and to be able to express your unique potential in the world.
While Pesso Boyden therapy is very effective one-to-one, there are great advantages to experiencing it as originally conceived: individual therapy within a group. One person at a time has the group’s support in doing a piece of therapy work, called a structure. This is a precisely constructed, symbolic, reparative experience, helping to heal the wounds of past trauma and loss. People often also benefit greatly from playing a role in someone else’s structure or simply from witnessing their work. The energy and support of the group make an invaluable contribution to this healing experience.
There will be four structures each day, each lasting approximately an hour. The person having a structure can either bring a specific issue or simply start with whatever is present for them in that moment. Chloe and Florence will lead alternate structures.
Location: Barnsbury Therapy Rooms, 144 Liverpool Road, London N1 1LA
Workshop: 13th and 14th November 2026
Time: Arrive by 9.45am for a 10am start, ending by 6.30pm latest
Cost: £210 total per two-day workshop for a guaranteed structure. Six places available.
£180 total per two-day workshop as an observer-participant, with the choice to enter the lottery for a possible structure.£90 to attend one day of a workshop as an observer-participant.
Florence and Chloë will jointly facilitate each workshop.

Meeting Ourselves – An Ongoing Therapy Group for Men
With Psychotherapist Rob Francis
We are living in a time of immense instability, transition and changing identities. Who we are and how we experience and recognise ourselves as men is a key part of this.
Working in a group offers us a community of belonging, collaboration and learning, as we engage with ourselves in our own work, and witness and engage with others doing theirs. In the group we can practise and grow trust, helping each other to heal, develop, and become stronger. As we meet with each other, we also meet ourselves.
Through this, we can form a view of ourselves and a way of life that is truthful, compassionate and sustainable, over time. We can evolve, individually and collectively, by becoming aware of and ending old attitudes and patterns of being, thinking, feeling, behaving and relating that are redundant and no longer work for us; and through shaping and establishing new patterns of living and relating that support us to thrive and grow.
I am running this men’s group to provide a space to help us to deepen our awareness, experience and satisfaction; to explore and form new perspectives on ourselves, our lives and our relationships; and to become the men we are, not the men we think we should be.
How to join the group
If you think you would like to join the group, please email me to arrange an initial meeting, to explore what you would like for yourself in joining, to talk about whether it’s the right thing for you, and to discuss the practicalities. If we both agree, I will add you to the list for when a space comes up.
Dates and times
We meet monthly on eleven Sundays through the year, barring August. The 2026 dates are: 11 Jan, 8 Feb, 8 Mar, 26 Apr, 10 May, 21 Jun, 19 Jul, 13 Sep, 11 Oct, 8 Nov, 6 Dec. The days run from 10:00 –17:00 with a coffee break, lunch break, and tea break.
Fee and commitment
The group comprises a maximum of eight participants and there is a minimum commitment of seven sessions. The 2026 fee is £105 per day. I require payment whether you’re present or absent for any reason, as part of the commitment.
About me
I am an experienced, accredited humanistic psychotherapist. My training was a rich, experiential process of learning and deepening contact and connection with myself and others in groups. Since starting my practice, I have continued to develop my work in ongoing professional- and personal-focused groups over many years.
