What is Connecting Space?
Connecting Space offers creative therapy, training, support and a place to connect. It is a space designed to activate greater depth connections. By being part of this creative connecting space there is the potential to meet others without the personal baggage that so hampers ordinary relationships. We encourage active self-knowledge rather than head knowledge alone, with the hope that you will find new and better ways of relating.
What is Creative Space?
Creative Space is creating space in a workshop / group environment to explore yourself in relationship with others, using methods from psychodrama, dramatherapy and art therapy.
Kate Squires
Kate retired from her work as a psychotherapist this April 2009, and is therefore not taking on any new clients or supervisees. Her life has been deepened and enhanced through the seventeen years she has spent in this field, and she is sad to be leaving the many people with whom she has had contact. She hopes those who visit Connecting Space will find the right therapist, supervisor or the space to connect through the journals.
“Our vision for this site is to become a therapeutic community (OTC) — a space where more difficult subjects can be addressed and discussed. Also, individuals can connect together through specific themes or interests, such as poetry, narratives, art.”
Kate is glad to be leaving Connecting Space website in the capable hands of her highly valued colleague and friend Jill Dodsworth.
