About Processwork UK Also known as RSPOPUK, we are a facilitator and psychotherapist training organisation. Processwork is a comprehensive and evolving model focusing on facilitating awareness at individual, relationship and collective levels.

It has its roots in Jungian psychology, Taoism, indigenous traditional wisdom, justice movements, systems theory and quantum physics.

We offer a diploma programme and shorter training courses in Processwork.In 2021, we started a gradual transition in the management of the school to a new school structure based on a holacratic / sociocratic system.

The new structure has involved devolving responsibility to small groupings or circles which have oversight and accountability for defined tasks and decisions.

Each circle has a lead link who is the liaison person and is responsible for communicating with other circles. The new circles are also designed to harness the collective wisdom of our membership by involving students and alumni in the some of the circle processes.
