Charlotte Howorth
Focusing Institute Certifying Coordinator
Certified Focusing-Oriented Therapist
Certified Focusing Trainer
Personal Statement
My work springs from the deep conviction that we all have surprising possibilities that can be tapped in a process of healing interaction and genuine introspection.
My job is to be the kind of interaction that moves the process forward and facilitates the kind of discoveries that produce their own unique, new, and life changing forward steps.
I have been practicing as a psychotherapist for over 20 years. I work with individuals, groups, couples, families, and children in both Manhattan and Brooklyn in NYC, USA, as well as online.
In addition to my private practice I facilitate Focusing Oriented Psychotherapy Certification Training for The Focusing Institute both in person and online. In addition, I am on the faculty of, and teach for The Experiential Psychotherapy Project, a group combining Focusing Oriented Therapy with Relational Self Psychology.
In addition to my certification courses I also facilitate focusing workshops internationally.
