SUMMARY:Transference and Countertransference
DESCRIPTION:Unlock the hidden power of transference and countertransference and discover how these fascinating unconscious dynamics can transform your clinical work\, with Victoria Settle. \nFriday 6th November 2026. \n\nOnline CPD Training for Therapists via Zoom. Can’t make the date? Watch the recording on CATCH-UP for 28 days.Event Times: 10.00am – 4.00pm GMT (London)/ 11.00am – 5.00pm CET (Paris)/ 5.00am – 11.00am EST (New York). \nTickets: £119 or £99 (full ticketing information at the end of this listing).  \n\n*Transference and Countertransference* \nEvent Description: \nIn this one-day workshop with Victoria Settle we will take a nuts-and-bolts look at two key concepts from the world of psychoanalysis. \nTransference and countertransference are psychoanalytic terms that are used frequently in psychotherapy but can still be shrouded in mystery and can sometimes be overused to the point of becoming a general description of everything that our client is feeling (transference) or everything that we are feeling (countertransference.) \nMany of us talk about transference and countertransference in slightly different ways and in this workshop we will explore all the different ways in which these important unconscious processes take place. We will look at the different facets of both and explore how to make use of the concepts in ways that support our clinical work. \nTransference can be particularly hard to work with as it works outside of conscious awareness\, both for our clients and for us. A client may find themselves feeling inexplicably irritated\, dependent\, or idealising towards us\, without any clear sense of why\, and part of our skill as practitioners is in noticing these dynamics without immediately interpreting them or dismissing them. We will spend time looking at how transference can show up not just in what clients say\, but in the texture of the relationship itself. \nCountertransference\, meanwhile\, is often where some of the richest clinical information lives. Whether we understand it as the feelings our clients evoke in us\, or as the totality of our emotional response to the therapeutic encounter\, learning to use it thoughtfully rather than simply managing or suppressing it is one of the more demanding and rewarding aspects of therapy work. We will explore how to distinguish between what belongs to us and what is being communicated through us\, and how to let that distinction inform the way we work. \nThis workshop is for you if you are looking to deeply understanding how transference and countertransference can show up in your work and can enrich your understand of what happens between therapist and client. This workshop is for counsellors and psychotherapists of any modality\, whether seasoned practitioners or newly-qualified. \nTrainer: \nVictoria Settle (Tori) is the current Chair of Education\, and former CEO\, of The Bowlby Centre in London. She is an attachment-based psychoanalytic psychotherapist and supervisor and is registered as a psychoanalyst with the UKCP. \nShe is a regular and very popular presenter of workshops on attachment issues for Brighton Therapy Partnership. \nTrailer: \n \nPRACTICAL INFORMATION ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP \nOnline CPD Workshop for Counsellors & Psychotherapists: This workshop will be delivered via Zoom.

SUMMARY:Intrusive Thoughts: A Treatment Guide
DESCRIPTION:Deepen your understanding and therapeutic approach to intrusive thoughts across OCD\, anxiety and trauma\, transforming your confidence and clinical skills in supporting clients. \nSaturday 28th November 2026. \nONLINE CPD Training for Therapists via Zoom. Can’t make the date? Watch the recording on CATCH-UP for 28 days. \nEvent Times: 10.00am – 4.00pm GMT (London)/ 11.00am – 5.00pm CET (Paris)/ 5.00am – 11.00am EST (New York). \nTickets: £119 or £99 (full ticketing information at the end of this listing).  \n*Intrusive Thoughts: A Treatment Guide* \nEvent Description: \nThis brand-new one-day workshop offers an integrative framework for understanding and working with intrusive thoughts\, a frequently misunderstood and stigmatised psychological experience. It will strengthen your knowledge\, skills\, and confidence in supporting clients who struggle with distressing internal experiences. \nDuring the day we will explore the main types of intrusive thoughts\, including those related to harm\, sexuality\, blasphemy\, contamination\, and unwanted impulses\, and how they typically appear in clinical practice. These thoughts can arise across a range of presentations\, such as OCD\, including Pure O\, anxiety\, depression\, and trauma-related difficulties. We will highlight the psychological mechanisms that drive intrusive thinking and explore how early caregiving\, lack of emotional containment\, heightened responsibility and cultural\, religious\, or superstitious meaning-making can shape vulnerability. \nWe will explore the emotional impact of intrusive thoughts\, especially the shame\, fear\, and confusion they evoke and the ways to normalise these experiences\, reduce stigma\, and support clients in reframing their self-concept. The workshop draws on multiple therapeutic approaches\, including CBT\, psychoeducation\, mindfulness\, psychodynamic ideas\, grounding and distraction techniques\, lifestyle strategies\, metacognitive principles\, and compassion-focused therapy. \nWe will also clarify how to distinguish intrusive thoughts from genuine intent\, emphasising that these thoughts\, however distressing are ego-dystonic and do not predict behaviour. Finally\, we will review what tends to help or hinder progress when working with these presentations and consider which approaches might suit different client profiles whilst also holding that this is only a framework\, so flexibility is key. Many clients will not have a clinical diagnosis\, so you will need to use your intuition and ask the right questions\, whilst also giving yourself permission to be imperfect and adopting a compassionate and grounded attitude to yourself as a therapist. \nTrainer: \nVikki Scott is a psychotherapist specialising in anxiety disorders\, career fatigue\, relationship difficulties\, and intrusive thoughts. After the early loss of her mother\, she experienced debilitating intrusive thoughts\, known as Pure O\, and explored many therapeutic approaches\, from psychoeducation and CBT to mindfulness\, in search of relief. Her lived experience underpins her strong belief in the potential for healing and personal transformation. \nTrailer: \n \nPRACTICAL INFORMATION ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP \nOnline CPD Workshop for Counsellors & Psychotherapists: This workshop will be delivered via Zoom.

SUMMARY:Understanding & Working with Addiction in Therapy
DESCRIPTION:Reframe everything you thought you knew about addiction and unlock a powerful relational approach to transform your therapeutic work\, with Sarah Pennock. \nSaturday 6th February 2027. \n\nOnline CPD Training for Therapists via Zoom.

She is an Associate Member of The Bowlby Centre\, where she teaches and supervises trainee attachment-based psychotherapists. She is a contributing author for ‘Attachment\, Relationships and Food’ (ed. Linda Cundy\, Routledge 2021) and also works as a Resilience Coach with senior corporate executives.

SUMMARY:Rupture and Repair in the Therapeutic Relationship
DESCRIPTION:Discover how to transform moments of disconnection and misunderstanding in the therapeutic relationship into powerful opportunities for healing and change\, with Teresa Finlay. \nFriday 26th February 2027. \n\nOnline CPD Training for Therapists via Zoom. Can’t make the date? Watch the recording on CATCH-UP for 28 days.Event Times: 10.00am – 4.00pm GMT (London)/ 11.00am – 5.00pm CET (Paris)/ 5.00am – 11.00am EST (New York). \nTickets: £119 or £99 (full ticketing information at the end of this listing).  \n\n*Rupture and Repair in the Therapeutic Relationship* \nEvent Description: \nRupture and repair in the therapeutic relationship refers to moments when trust\, understanding\, or connection between therapist and client is strained or broken (rupture)\, and the process of openly addressing and resolving that strain to rebuild trust and strengthen the relationship (repair). \nThis one-day training day offers therapists a focused introduction to working with rupture and repair in the therapeutic dyad through relational\, attachment and mentalization-based approaches. Participants will explore how moments of disconnection\, misunderstanding\, or strain can be understood not as setbacks\, but as potentially valuable opportunities for therapeutic understanding and change. \nLearning to work effectively with rupture and repair in therapy is essential\, as these moments are both inevitable and highly impactful. When ruptures are left unaddressed\, they can lead to disengagement\, misunderstanding\, or even premature endings. \nIn this workshop participants will develop the understanding and skills needed to respond to ruptures with curiosity\, emotional attunement\, and reflective capacity. Emphasis will be placed on maintaining a mentalizing stance\, navigating therapist–client dynamics in the moment\, and facilitating meaningful repair processes that strengthen the therapeutic relationship and promote lasting change. \nLearning Objectives \nDrawing on principles of attachment\, relational psychotherapy\, and Mentalization-Based Therapy (MBT)\, the training highlights the importance of understanding rupture through an intersubjective lens—encouraging curiosity about what can be stirred up and activated in both client and therapist. \nThis process supports therapists and clients to: \n\nUnderstand their triggers and vulnerabilities without inviting shame or blame.\nMake sense of their responses in light of their perceptions and experiences\nOpenly explore misunderstandings and the way that individuals perceive and experience one another in a safe and trusting clinical environment\nDevelop greater capacity to reflect on their own and others’ internal states\, particularly under emotional pressure.\n\nThis workshop is suitable for both experienced therapists and therapists in-training or newly qualified of any modality. \nTrainer: \nTeresa Finlay is a UKCP accredited psychoanalytic psychotherapist\, mentalization-based practitioner\, clinical supervisor and trainer. She is also trained in relational psychoanalysis\, EMDR\, and Internal Family Systems. \nTeresa has over 20 years’ clinical experience working in therapeutic communities\, private practice\, and university counselling services. She currently works with Beacon House\, a specialist provider of therapeutic services for those affected by trauma. \nTrailer: \n \nPRACTICAL INFORMATION ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP \nOnline CPD Workshop for Counsellors & Psychotherapists: This workshop will be delivered via Zoom.

We will explore conceptual frameworks for understanding how attachment theory\, developmental and relational neuroscience and contemporary trauma research explain why many of the difficulties clients bring to therapy\, such as anxiety\, depression\, trauma and somatic complaints\, are experienced through the body as well as the mind. \nWe shall explore key concepts relevant to embodied psychotherapy\, including attachment\, autonomic regulation\, somatic markers\, bodily and sensory awareness\, and non-verbal communication. The workshop will begin with a brief introduction to the origins of somatic psychotherapy before exploring how developmental and relational experiences shape embodied patterns\, including regulation\, boundaries\, posture and ways of interacting. \nDrawing on the work of key contributors including Wilhelm Reich\, Daniel Stern\, Antonio Damasio\, Daniel Siegel\, Peter Levine and Babette Rothschild\, we shall explore how developmental psychology\, attachment theory\, interpersonal neurobiology and trauma research have shaped contemporary understandings of embodiment and their relevance to therapeutic practice. \nThrough lecture and experiential exercises\, participants will explore practical ways of engaging with clients’ non-verbal and embodied experience\, helping clients develop greater awareness and understanding of their embodied experience alongside talk therapy. The practical approaches introduced can be integrated into existing therapeutic modalities and adapted for both online and in-person clinical practice. \nThe workshop is designed specifically for therapists whose primary modality is talking therapy\, you don’t need any prior training or experience in somatic approaches to attend. \nThe aims of the workshop are: \n\nTo provide an accessible introduction to the theoretical foundations of embodiment in psychotherapy\, drawing on attachment theory\, developmental and relational neuroscience and contemporary trauma research.\nTo develop participants’ understanding of how anxiety\, depression\, trauma and somatic complaints are experienced through both mind and body.\nTo explore how developmental and relational experiences shape embodied patterns\, including regulation\, boundaries\, posture\, movement and ways of relating.\nTo introduce key contributors to embodied approaches to psychotherapy\, including Wilhelm Reich\, Daniel Stern\, Antonio Damasio\, Daniel Siegel\, Peter Levine and Babette Rothschild.\nTo develop therapists’ own embodied awareness and understanding of their own bodily responses\, regulation and presence within the therapeutic relationship.\nTo support therapists in recognising non-verbal and embodied aspects of clients’ experience\, including posture\, gesture\, movement\, breathing\, sensory experience and autonomic regulation.\nTo introduce practical ways of attending to embodied experience within therapy\, including orienting\, grounding\, resourcing\, tracking embodied cues and supporting present-moment awareness.\nTo support therapists in integrating somatic awareness safely and ethically within existing talking therapy approaches\, both online and in-person.\n\nThis workshop is suitable for experienced therapist and therapists in training and newly qualified\, of any modality. \nTrainer: \nVanessa Bear is a UKCP-registered psychotherapist working with adults and children\, a certified Somatic Trauma Therapist and clinical supervisor in training. She is trained in yoga therapy and eco-psychotherapy and has extensive experience integrating nature-connection and embodied practices into her work.
