It was whilst writing and producing documentaries for the BBC that Elliot found himself telling the sometimes troubled life stories of artists and musicians. This led to his decision to professionalise his ‘listening skills’. At that point his psychotherapy training began.

As a writer Elliot has written for film and television and is an Olivier Nominated for his stage writing.
Elliot’s creativity forms a central role in his clinical practice and for this retreat, Elliot will focus awareness on how our creativity can make sense of our world and bring life to the therapy room and help us better connect us to our clients.
First though we need to embrace our own creativity.
