What is The Focusing Technique?

Focusing is a body-oriented process of self-awareness and healing developed by American philosopher and psychologist Eugene Gendlin in the 1960s. It emerged from his research at the University of Chicago, where he discovered something remarkable: people who made lasting changes in therapy weren't necessarily those with the most insight or analysis—they were the ones who knew how to connect with a felt sense of their experience.

That discovery led to the creation of Focusing: a teachable, practical method that helps you tune into the body’s quiet wisdom—noticing subtle, often wordless sensations that carry deep emotional meaning.

Through guided practice, reflection, you’ll learn how to:

  • Pause and tune into your inner experience with kindness

  • Recognise the body’s quiet signals that point to what’s really going on

  • Stay present with emotions without being overwhelmed

  • Let meaning and insight unfold naturally—without force or overthinking

This is not a technique for solving problems quickly, but a process of befriending yourself, finding language for what’s true, and allowing clarity to arise from within.
