Welcome to the original and official Provocative Therapy site

This is the official and original Provocative Therapy website. You can read about Frank Farrelly’s approach and discover legitimate training opportunities and resources here. Frank was very clear about how he wanted his work to be communicated and left his archive in safekeeping to Nick Kemp, who looks after this site.

If you see somebody offering certifications in PT, you can be assured that what is being offered is not a Frank Farrelly-approved training. Other common misconceptions are that PT is about humour or being aggressive towards others. Frank wasinsistentt that his work wasjargon-freee and always conducted “as if talking to an old friend” There are NO CERTIFICATIONS in Provoactive Therapy, see below

One of the blacklisted companies has tried to offer PT certifications and been reminded of Frank’s wishes. The same company tried to sell products with Frank’s photo with the Farrelly estate’s permission. This is totally unprofessional and I know what Frank would say about such unethical behaviour

The official Provocative archive of Frank’s work as well as Nick Kemp’s PCW work, can be found HERE

Blacklist of individuals and companies here

More details about unethical and illegal representations of Frank’s work are already available with the Provocative community. Most people who have trained with Frank and/or studied his work are quite respectful, so fortunately only a few characcters make the blacklist.

Frank was one of the kindest, most ethical therapists I have ever met, and his work must be preserved as he would have wished. Many thanks to all those across the globe who have highlighted unethical and illegal behaviours.
