28: Diving into the world of dreams

How can you build a psychotherapeutic career working with dreams?

In this episode, Emily Bridges, our head of content and engagement, talks to UKCP psychotherapist Dave Billington.

When it came to pursuing a career in psychotherapy, Dave explored his long-standing interest in dreams, pursuing training that allowed him to explore this psychotherapeutic way of working. 

His experience, interest and career led Dave into private practice and to take on the role of director of the DRI Centre for Dream Studies, which supports research into the uses and applications of psychospiritual dreamwork for holistic well-being. 

He now also runs ‘The Dream Boat’ podcast series, alongside his colleague Laura Payne. It brings together experts and the public to delve into the world of dreams. 

‘There’s something that comes through from just being with the imagery that’s there, and feeling the feelings the dream is bringing, that connects us to our deepest unconscious.’
