It feels like just yesterday we were writing a post to celebrate our 5th birthday and here we are a whole year later! We are so excited to have reached another year of helping and supporting those who need it.

Apparently Iron is the customary symbol for a 6th anniversary, representing strength and durability. We are entering our 6th year feeling deeply rooted in our ever expanding community of staff, volunteers and the broader social enterprise networks we are part of. That community is what makes us strong and when you are brave enough to lean into community that's when the magic happens.

We are feeling grateful for everyone who has helped us get here today. Thank you :)

A glimpse into Sophia’s first weekend of Supervision training. Explorations aplenty! Thank you to Sophia for sharing this with us.

We are excited to say Sophia has two spaces to supervise therapists, counsellors, or professionals from the helping/caring sector. Who would like to work creatively. Is that you? Then get in contact today by emailing teams.voe@gmail.com.

We can't wait to see how her training continues to develop.

"I’m looking forward to creating a space for participants to discover and understand parts of self, and to explore how to integrate parts work into their therapeutic practices with clients.

We’ll also be spending some time thinking about what parts of you can get activated in your client work - countertransference redefined!"

We are so excited for the session and so grateful to Lotte for sharing her excitement with us! There are spaces available so if you are interested email teams.voe@gmail.com to book!

We know it's a Friday but you may want to add booking this workshop to your to-do list.

We are so excited to share that we are hosting a CPD event here at Carrow House led by Lotte Large.

"An Introduction to working with parts of self with Lotte Large"

The Event

| 4th October 2025 | 9 - 2pm | £35

You may be aware of parts of yourself or your clients that are playful, or angry, or scared and frozen, or intellectual, or creative... the list is endless and unique to each of us. Sometimes these parts exist together in harmony and sometimes they are polarised and fragmented.

This workshop will be experiential and reflective and you will hopefully leave with an understanding of parts work, ideas of how to integrate this way of working into your practice, and perhaps a connection to some of your own parts!

About Lotte

I am an Integrative Psychotherapeutic Counsellor and work in private practice in Norwich. I have explored my own parts in my personal therapy, and have done several training courses in parts work and it is now one of the main ways I work with clients in my practice.

Book your place by emailing teams.voe@gmail.com or get in contact if you have any questions.

Want to understand your mental wellbeing more and learn more about techniques to help you regulate?

Led by our Director of Clinical Services, Natalie Tayte, take some time out from a chaotic world to expand your ‘psychological toolkit’. This includes:

- An introduction to how the nervous system works and the role it plays in your body
- Learn about & understand mental wellbeing
- Practice helpful breathing and grounding techniques
- Explore how to regulate your nervous system through sensory inputs

We have created an accessible session to help you develop your understanding of yourself, and the techniques that can help you regulate in a chaotic world. This feels particularly important & vital at the moment and we are so happy to be able to host it at our home in Carrow House.

This two and a half hour session is £40 and this includes light snacks & a regulation tool kit to take home.
