Attachment Behaviour in the Counselling Room - Training Video

How does attachment show up in the counselling room - not only in our clients, but in ourselves and in the therapeutic relationship?

This 2-hour instant-access online training explores how to recognise and work with attachment behaviour in adult clients, while also considering how our own attachment patterns may influence the way we respond as counsellors.

We explore how different attachment styles may present in therapy, what can happen when the counsellor's attachment style is very different from the client's, and interventions that can help clients understand and explore their own attachment patterns.

Role play demonstrations bring the theory to life. Meet "Jane", an Avoidant/Dismissive client, and "Rose", an Ambivalent/Preoccupied client, and see how the counsellor responds differently to each. You'll also hear the actors reflect on their experience of stepping into these roles.
