Dear ,

FRI 18, SAT 19 & SUN 20 Nov 2022
Attachment Informed Couple Therapy (14 hours CPD)
With Nicola Jones
Attachment theory provides the most reliable and research-based approach to working with couple clients available today. As such it will enrich your practice as it helps you to get to the heart of your clients’ issues: their needs for security, connection, intimacy and love. It enables a deeper appreciation of how close relationships are formed which directly correlates with how to help couples understand and resolve their problems. It explains the fundamental importance of close relationships to our wellbeing and across the lifespan ‘from the cradle to the grave’ (Bowlby, 1979).
