-
5. What technology do I need?You'll need a device (computer, tablet, or smartphone) with internet access to stream videos and download materials. Some people find it helpful to use headphones for guided exercises to enhance focus and minimise distractions.
-
6. Can I get a refund if the course isn’t right for me?Refunds for self-paced courses are available within 5 days of purchase, as long as you haven’t completed more than 20% of the course. Once you pass the 20% completion mark or the 5-day window, the course is non-refundable. If you're unsure whether a course is the right fit, feel free to reach out with questions before enrolling.
-
2. Do I need prior experience with Focusing?No prior experience is needed. These courses are designed to introduce you to a new process and skill, guiding you step by step. Whether you're brand new to Focusing or looking to deepen your understanding, you'll find clear instructions and practical exercises to help you integrate Focusing into your life.
-
3. Is there any live support or interaction?Self-paced courses are designed for independent learning, but some may include optional live Q&A sessions or discussion forums where you can ask questions and connect with others. Check the course details for available support options.
-
2. How are the advanced courses different from the Focusing Foundations Training?While the Foundations Training teaches the core principles of Focusing, advanced courses go deeper. You’ll refine your skills, explore more complex Focusing processes, and gain greater fluency in guiding yourself and others. These courses are more experiential, with less theory and homework—focusing instead on direct application and deepening your lived experience of Focusing. They emphasize personal integration, deeper Presence, and working with life’s unfolding process.
-
3. Will I have Focusing partnerships?It depends on the course. Some advanced courses emphasize Solo Focusing (Focusing alone), helping you deepen your ability to guide yourself. Others include a mix of Solo Focusing and partner practices to refine your skills in both areas. Each course description will specify the format, so you can choose what best supports your learning.
-
1. Who are these advanced courses for?These courses are designed for those who have already completed the Focusing Foundations Training (Parts 1 & 2) or equivalent training. They are ideal for students who want to deepen their Focusing practice, strengthen their confidence, and explore more advanced applications of Focusing in daily life.
-
4. What if I haven’t practiced in a while?That’s okay! Many students take advanced courses after a break from Focusing. The supportive learning environment allows you to ease back in, refresh your skills, and reconnect with the practice at your own pace.
-
6. What is your cancellation policy for advanced courses?If you need to cancel, you can receive a full refund or apply your course fee toward a future class up to 18 days before the course start date.

3. What makes this Focusing training different from other mindfulness or meditation courses?Unlike traditional mindfulness or meditation, which focus on quieting the mind, Focusing is an active, interactive process of tuning into your body’s felt sense—the key to real change. Instead of ignoring or overriding emotions, it helps you connect with deeper inner knowing, work through emotional blocks, and gain clarity in life. While not therapy, coaching, or meditation, Focusing shares elements of each, offering a lifelong skill to access deep insight, resolve blocks, and move forward with confidence. This course provides structured guidance, live practice, and a supportive environment to help you integrate Focusing into your daily life.
