Read about our therapeutic approach

We take a maximum of six trainees on each training. This allows for a high level of personal attention and guidance over the two years. We also ensure that, as a trainee, you have the opportunity to engage in the personal growth and development work needed to bring healing and awareness to your own shadows. This will enable you to work at the emotional depth required with your clients and for you to function as a confident, competent and safe practitioner.

We also offer a third year of training where you can learn the extra skills and competencies required for working with groups.

Throughout the training we work in-depth on exploring the relationship between client and practitioner, particularly exploring the techniques and qualities needed to create deeply healing relationships with your clients. We also focus on your relationship with yourself, and help you develop ways to to hold, guide and support yourself through the emotional and practical challenges of becoming a practitioner. That way, our qualified practitioners can not only facilitate clients safely and effectively, but can do so with joy, confidence and connection.

The next two year training starts in September 2026.

Our Founders Marianne Hill and and Rod Boothroyd are both pioneers in the world of shadow work.

Marianne developed and ran the first-ever deep process shadow work trainings for psychotherapists and counsellors, giving them the tools they need to bring shadow work safely and effectively into their practice. She also created the hugely popular Six Month Shadow Work Journey model, which is now taught to our third year trainees in their group facilitation training.

More recently Rod and Marianne together created the Year Shadow Work Journeys. These proved similarly popular and extremely powerful. Between them Rod and Marianne have run hundreds of group workshops, impacting thousands of people along the way. They both also run busy individual practices.

Rod is author of Warrior Magician Lover, King a hugely popular book which has made shadow work and the archetypes accessible and engaging for men who are looking to heal from their childhood wounds. Rod is now retired from teaching, but he continues to run his private practice and to facilitate men’s retreats.

Marianne is author of Healing The Shadow – Deep Process Psychotherapy. In her book Marianne brings this work to life in tangible and engaging ways, using realistic examples and accessible explanations to help people explore the transformational world of shadow work.
