We will present writing in progress/process around themes of writing, loss, absence and presence. We explore the experience of coming back into contact after a space of absence: returning here after being there. We write through themes of loss, restoration, death, love, breakage, recovery, depletion, renewal, and more.

with Jacob Johanssen and Anthony Faramelli.

The ‘First Thursday’ seminar series engages with innovative, creative and radical conversations about counselling and psychotherapy research and practice.
