Emotion-Focused Therapy Trainings

Our trainings provide participants with a solid grounding in the skills required to work more directly with emotions in psychotherapy.

The focus of the trainings will be experiential, learning how to provide change in core emotional structures. Participants receive in depth skill training through a combination of brief lectures, video demonstrations, live modelling, case discussions and extensive supervised role-playing practice.

We are currently aiming to run level 1 trainings for both individual and couples therapy once a year, and level 2 trainings every second year.
