What Is Reflective Practice?

Reflective practice is a structured space for individuals and teams to explore emotional experiences, dynamics, and decision-making. It supports continuous learning by combining individual reflections with group dialogue to unpack assumptions, emotions, and group roles for deeper insight and collective growth.

Benefits of Our Reflective Practice & Facilitation

Through facilitated sessions, creative teams gain:

  • Increased team cohesion and emotional awareness—unlocking more authentic collaboration and trust.

  • Improved critical reflection—participants learn to examine practice meaningfully, fostering adaptive creativity.

  • Empowerment and conflict navigation—spaces where power dynamics and emotional challenges are safely explored and reframed.

Our Group Facilitation Formats

  • Reflective Practice Groups: 60–90 minute small-group sessions combining individual reflection (e.g. using Gibbs or Borton frameworks) with facilitated group dialogue.

  • Themed sessions: Focused themes such as burnout, creative block, or team decision‑making that encourage deeper shared learning.

  • Series or embedded programmes: Ongoing facilitation across several months to embed reflective habits and culture within teams.

Each session is trauma-informed, creative-sector aware, and attuned to your team’s working environment.
