Working with Couples

How is couples counselling different from individual counselling?  Why do we as counsellors tend to find couples counselling the more challenging? 

Through theory, case studies, live and DVD demonstrations and skills practice, participants will have the opportunity to:

• learn the key principles of Systems Theory and a range of major approaches to working with couples
• practice maintaining a stance of neutrality in relation to the couple relationship
• explore the relationship between assessment, therapeutic goals and case conceptualisation of couple systems
• learn some ways to intervene with unhelpful repetitive patterns of couple behaviour and how to engage couples in the counselling process

What can you expect?

All our workshops and courses (face to face and online) are interactive small groups run by highly experienced facilitators.

We aim to ensure the learning environment is engaging and your active participation is needed. All participants are encouraged to ask questions in a safe, open, and non-judgemental learning environment.
