Death Dying and Bereavement in the Therapeutic Space
Saturday October 24th 2026
10am to 4pm
Booking Form
Are you interested in deepening your knowledge and understanding of death, dying and bereavement as we experience it in the therapy room? If so please join me, Lorna Marchant for a day exploring both theoretically and experientially death, dying and bereavement and how it can show itself in the therapeutic encounter.
I have worked with death, dying and bereavement in its many forms for more than two decades, working with clients, supervising counsellors and with trainee counsellors. I have researched the impact on adult life when a sudden death has been experienced in childhood and presented at research conferences on this topic.
The day will involve touching on what you already know about the vast field of knowledge around death, dying and bereavement, introducing new material and further understanding of this field, all of which will be offered in an experiential way so that in your work with clients and supervisees you can offer a safe and containing space often when all else feels lost.
Fee: £95 Early bird fee £80 until Friday 25th September 2026
Venue: Liverpool Quaker Meeting House 22 School Lane Liverpool L1 3BT
A 20% discount applies when parking at Q-Park Hanover Street if parking is pre-booked through the website - details on the booking form

Introduction to Working with Groups with Lorna Marchant
Sunday 6th September 2026
9.30 - 3.30
If you are a counsellor or supervisor you have probably found yourself either running groups or being asked to run groups. Counsellors who work with children and young people, as well as counselling tutors, are often involved in running groups.
Working with groups, whether trainee counsellors, supervisees or support workers in an organisation can leave the facilitator feeling daunted and at times overwhelmed.
On this course you will be introduced to different group theories and explore experientially your own experience of being in groups and how this might impact your facilitation of groups.
Lorna has been running a wide range of groups for many years, she has studied group theory and written about groups professionally during this time and believes that now, as more counsellors are being required to run groups this will be a timely addition to your CPD portfolio. 'An enriching and supportive day that has given me a good grounding to develop further as a group facilitator' (Participant February 2026)
Numbers are limited so please get in touch to book your place.
The fee is £80 with an early bird fee of £60 up to and including 31st August 2026. To book your place please get in touch with Lorna at
