SUMMARY:Working With Couples: The Foundations of Relationship Therapy
DESCRIPTION:\n\n[caption id="attachment_513" align="aligncenter" width="285
 "] Couple under cloud with lightning and rain[/caption]\n\n“Despite havi
 ng read widely in approaches to couple therapy it was Nic’s training tha
 t gave me actual guidance about what to do when at the coal-face. Having
  a warring couple in front of you can feel like being in a dark\, cramped\
 , hazardous condition….and Nic teaches processes which transform the tre
 nches into a space for hope\, engagement\, vulnerability\, comprehension\,
  and exploration. I walked out of Nic’s 2 day course intrigued by the po
 ssibilities of using conflict as an opportunity for coaching\, understandi
 ng the distinction between closeness and intimacy\, and with a new focus f
 or helping clients deal with their differences.” Emma N\, Counsellor.\n
 \nWorking with couples requires specialist skills.  Even experienced ther
 apists can feel at sea when trying to meet the needs of two clients simult
 aneously\, let alone when they are in conflict!  The training will help y
 ou apply your existing clinical skills in a couple therapy context.It is a
 lso of value to therapists who work with individuals who wish to improve t
 heir skills in working with relationship issues and understanding of relat
 ionship dynamics.It does not teach a specific model of therapy but looks a
 t common issues that arise when a couple bring relationship difficulties t
 o your practice.In this training you will learn how to:\n\n 	stay in charg
 e of process and structure\; keeping you and your clients safe\n 	why inti
 mate relationships get harder to do over time and what to do about it\n 	h
 ow clients protect themselves out of a relationship and what they can do i
 nstead\n 	how to begin therapy with impact to maximise your credibility an
 d your client’s hope\n 	avoid common traps regarding confidentiality and
  getting off-side with one partner\n 	how to prevent and de-escalate unpro
 ductive conflict\n 	the use of a systemic\, non-blaming conceptualization 
 in practice with couples\n 	how to empathically confront\, especially wher
 e clients lack self-awareness\n 	how to address sexual issues as a normal 
 part of adult intimate relationship\n 	keys to working across cultures and
  power differences\n 	&amp\; much more!\n\nThis workshop is intended for a
 ll practitioners regardless of how much or little training they have had i
 n working with couples.   Maybe you have had some training in a couple
 ’s therapy model\, but are lacking confidence in actually working with t
 hem.  Perhaps you are considering moving into couples’ work and want a 
 sound grounding. Perhaps you are quite experienced in working with couples
  but are always looking for a fresh perspective or just want to improve yo
 ur practice. Wherever you are coming from\, this workshop will be of value
  to your practice.\n\nThis is a stand-alone training\, requiring no previo
 us couple therapy experience or training.\nCompletion of this training (or
  equivalent) is a prerequisite for enrolling in the “Core Skills &amp\; 
 Theory of the Developmental Model” training.\n\n“This has to be the mo
 st raw\, challenging\, open training I have ever attended. This training d
 elves into therapy in a way that makes you want more. The training talks a
 bout all the taboo subjects as therapists we have no idea how to ask or ex
 plore. This gives you strategies to explore these subjects with your clien
 ts in a safe and secure manner. I would highly recommend this training to 
 anyone who works with or is wanting to work with couples\, in fact I would
  recommend it to anyone doing therapy!” – Julie (Registered Social Wo
 rker)\n\nNOTE:  if you are booking\, after filling in the form\, make sur
