# Event Details - **Event Name**: Working with Boarding School Syndrome: Clinical Awareness for Therapists - **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 19 May, 2026 at 06:00 pm – Tue, 19 May, 2026 at 08:00 pm (+01:00) - **Event Description**: A workshop exploring how boarding school experiences shape childhood development and present as adult distress in the therapy room.About this EventLed by , this event is a professional development workshop for qualified and trainee counsellors and psychotherapists who wish to gain an understanding of how boarding school experiences shape childhood development and present as adult distress in therapeutic work.Boarding School Syndrome describes the often-unrecognised psychological impact of institutional upbringing on children sent to boarding schools. As these experiences are frequently framed as privilege rather than potential trauma, clients rarely identify boarding school as a concern.However, its effects may underlie attachment difficulties, emotional regulation challenges, and relationship patterns. Understanding Boarding School Syndrome is essential for therapists to recognise these hidden dynamics in the therapeutic relationship and create space for clients to explore feelings they've been conditioned to dismiss.This workshop will give you some clinical awareness to work sensitively with this population, whose formative trauma often goes unseen precisely because of the social status associated with their education.In the session, we will consider:What is Boarding School Syndrome?How it is caused, and how it presents in adults.How to work with boarding school clients in the therapy room.Workshop format:Through a combination of presentation, discussion, exercises, questions, this workshop will offer a good understanding of some of the key issues to be aware of when working with clients who have been educated at boarding school.About the speaker: is a BACP-accredited therapist specialising in the lasting impact of boarding school education on emotional development and adult behaviour.
