Sanjha | साँझा : Circle of Care for Therapists

About the Group

Sanjha is a support circle for therapists (with at least 1 year of experience), anchored in children’s books and organised by Children’s Books for All.

As therapists, we work in relationships every day. This work can be deeply rewarding, and it can also be quietly draining. Holding space for others, offering care, and staying emotionally present is a continuous process: one that asks a great deal of us over time. There are parts of our experience that often remain unseen, even by those closest to us.

We may struggle to put into words what it is like to hold people’s stories, especially the ones that stay with us long after sessions end.

Care, by its very nature, needs to be replenished. It is sustained through connection- by being met by others who understand both the weight and the tenderness of this work, and through spaces where we do not have to hold everything alone.

This circle is for therapists, regardless of where they are in their professional journey, who want a space to reflect, learn, and stay supported - both in how they practice and how they carry themselves in the work.

Over 12 sessions across 6 months, each meeting will explore themes that speak to both the human and the therapist within us. The journey will be supported by six children’s books, with conversations and reflective activities that invite play, meaning-making, connection, and shared wisdom.

What the circle is not
This circle is not group therapy, peer supervision, or a space for clinical advice or case discussion. There is no expectation to solve, analyse, or perform professionally.

What the circle is
It is a reflective space for therapists to learn with and from one another through conversation and connection, and to feel supported in sustaining their work.
