The Pásalo Project is a UK based organisation, drawing in talented professionals as required to create project-specific responses and solutions for psychological health and social care issues across languages.
Projects have resulted in e-learning resources, training and supervision films, models for counselling and psychotherapy across languages, a performance group of interpreters and more – delivered in the UK, across Europe and globally.
All the project’s work is focused on linguistics, psychotherapy and social care, developed and delivered with the core member of the Pásalo Project Dr Beverley Costa DPSych, a Senior Practitioner Fellow, Birkbeck, University of London and a Senior Visiting Research Fellow, University of Reading.

Tuning In is an anthology of creative writing about the unheard experiences of multilingualism in psychological therapy.
The stories, dialogues, poems and letters open up a multilingual world from the perspective of people who use more than one language and people who use just one language. In other words, it is about the human experience of languages, which affects us all. For more information or to order a copy please visit here |
