We hope you can join us for this session on the practise and therapeutic value of breathing exercises and meditation in relation to anxiety reduction.
With: Jane Reed
Date: Sunday 18 May 2025
Time: 10am to 1pm (including workshop 11am to 12.30pm)
Venue: Relational Spaces, Mulberry Room, Langdale House, 11 Marshalsea Road, London SE1 1EN (2 min walk from Borough Station)
About the topic
Breathing exercises and meditation are very effective techniques of self-regulation, helping people feel calmer, more mindful and more objective about their situation.
Two useful recent research reviews about their effects on anxiety reduction are:
- Breathing practices for stress and anxiety reduction: conceptual framework of implementation guidelines based on a systematic review of the published literature (Brain Sciences journal)
- Meditative therapies for reducing anxiety: a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (Depression and Anxiety journal)
The aim of the session is for therapists to both:
- experience the effects of these techniques for themselves
- learn more about their therapeutic value

About our Pluralogues
For those new to this event, the Pluralogue is a space where we get together to both learn and socialise, meet some new colleagues and find out what others are up to.
The term ‘Pluralogue’ was coined by Doron many years ago, to depict moving beyond monologue to dialogue: to pluralogue (the conversation of many). We hope to learn together and from each other in the form of a learning community in a friendly atmosphere.
The added bonus is that we structure it as a CPD event so you will be able to count it as CPD hours (a CPD certificate will be provided as well).
