Who this is for
For people who already carry the room —
and want to carry it well.
This programme is for professionals who facilitate, lead, or intend to establish reflective practice groups, supervision spaces, or reflective forums — within their organisation or independent practice.
Reflective spaces can surface vulnerability, uncertainty and challenge as often as insight. The programme is built around that reality: it treats facilitation as a skill that requires containment strategies, clear boundaries and ethical judgement, not just good intentions.
You'll bring participants with different levels of experience, authority and organisational power into the same room. The course is designed to help you navigate that — including the safeguarding responsibilities, institutional risk, and moral distress that come with psychologically demanding work.

The learning journey
Eight sessions, scaffolded on purpose.
The programme moves from foundations and safety to facilitation skills, group dynamics, inclusion and implementation.
Planned cohorts: from late October 2026, then November and December 2026. Exact session dates are to be confirmed and will be updated before enrolment.
Online sessions: please use a laptop or desktop with a working camera and microphone and a reliable internet connection. Contact the team in advance to discuss accessibility adjustments.
Orientation & group agreements
Introduces the purpose and scope of reflective practice, clarifies roles and boundaries, and establishes the group agreements that make psychological safety possible from session one.
Foundations of reflective practice & psychological safety
Shared understanding of reflective practice, and the conditions that make reflection safe and effective. Introduces Kolb, Gibbs and Schön as frameworks for learning from experience.
Models, reflexivity & critical reflection
Compare reflective models, develop reflexivity and critical reflection, and choose an approach suited to the context rather than applying a formula.
Facilitation micro-skills & online methods
Practise online facilitation through active listening, curious questions, managing silence and widening participation.
Group dynamics, containment & boundaries
Explore how group dynamics shape participation, and practise containment, boundaries and safe responses when significant issues emerge.
Diversity, inclusion, power & neurodiversity
Examine how identity, culture, power and neurodiversity shape voice, access and psychological safety in reflective spaces.
Implementation, sustainability & observed practice
Create an implementation plan, strengthen reflective practice within your setting and rehearse facilitation with developmental feedback.
Closure & reflection
Collective reflection on the course, evaluation, and a considered transition back into professional practice — with space for the emotional weight of ending well.
What's included
Support that continues after the last session.
Secure learning platform
A digital reflective journal, tailored reflective prompts, and a resource hub of session materials, models and reading — available between and after live sessions.

Before you register
Questions we're asked directly.
Is this therapy, or a therapy group?
No. It's a developmental training programme in facilitating reflective practice. Reflection can still surface real emotion, which is why safeguarding, boundaries and voluntary participation are built into the design from the pre-course session onward.
What is the fee, and can I choose my start date?
The programme fee is £600. Please contact the Insight Forensic Psychology Service Ltd team to confirm VAT treatment before enrolment. Cohorts are limited to 15 learners; choose from the available cohort start dates.
Is the certificate formally accredited?
Participants who complete the programme receive a Certificate of Completion issued by Insight Forensic Psychology Service Ltd. The facilitator manual specifies a provider-issued completion certificate and does not state that the programme is formally accredited.
Do I need existing facilitation experience?
No — the programme is designed for a mix of experience levels, from those establishing their first reflective space to those already facilitating who want a more rigorous, ethically grounded foundation.
What if I can't attend a live session, or need an adjustment?
Speak to the Business Support team as early as possible. Reasonable adjustments and special considerations are handled under our published policies, and materials are available in accessible, alternative formats on request.
