A deeper understanding

Every individual we see for assessment or intervention is part of a family system, and has been in a relationship with caregivers and others. It is important for us to consider the early life experiences of individuals, particularly within these lenses, to develop an understanding of how safe they perceive others and how confident they are in themselves and others to meet their needs. This training focuses on ensuring we have a solid understanding of attachment styles and how they may present in the child, adolescent, parent or adult, as well as the potential impact on the therapeutic relationship and process.

Reflect and discuss

This is live CPD where you will engage deeply with the content through discussion and role play, and be encouraged to ask questions. You will be learning alongside your peers and sharing your knowledge and experiences to gain a deeper understanding of the topic.
