Phil Burgess and Nicky Duirs run, art holidays, walking and therapeutic breaks at Casa del Llanete between them. They have years of experience working in the arts and with arts and health organisations. They have also worked with many different groups of people and for organisations as diverse as community theatre companies, schools and colleges, local authorities and the NHS. Workshops at Casa del Llanete are run on a structured but relaxed, flexible and informal style, so that individuals get the most out of their break here.
 Phil is trained in theatre skills and psychotherapy, specialising in Psychodrama techniques. He has run staff training programmes for a wide range of organisations. Phil uses action methods enabling people to make changes in their lives and to cope with change. He has worked with both groups and individuals in this way. He is also a trained massage therapist, he offers accompanied walks if people request and also makes nice lunches for people on creative arts breaks.
