Professional Training for Therapists

”I attended face to face couples training with Karen earlier this year and was introduced to wide range of information and supports. There was great interaction and discussion in the group and I found the role plays really good. The role of therapist can be quite isolating at times but to know there is access to a support network available to me is really encouraging.

”I found this training excellent, very informative, with lots of practical tools and great resources. Karen was approachable and willing to provide any further information as needed, I would certainly attend further training with Karen.

”I would highly recommend the Training Course on Couples Therapy with Karen.
Karen was very generous in her facilitation of the course. She shared not only the theory but also her experiences of working with clients both the positive and negative aspects of the work. I liked how Karen gave practical examples in different situations working with couples. The recommended readings, handouts, videos etc. were excellent. The course was an excellent preparation for starting couples therapy. This was a professionally run course by a very committed therapist.

”This course is invaluable in bridging the gap between individual psychotherapy work and couples therapy work. The training lead us through several couples’ therapy models and we were given a clear structure to support work with couples. Thank you Karen for your knowledge, generosity, and authenticity.

”Karen has a fantastic ability to impart her knowledge around couples therapy in such a clear and transformative way. The four day training was very much geared to providing very useful tools and structures into your practice with couples work, regardless of your own experience in this area. The added bonus of multiple resources, future training, networking opportunities and supervision options is also invaluable.

”After taking this course, Karen helped me see how much richer working with couples can be when you pull from different therapy models. I thought I was giving my best to my couples work, and am now realising I have greater resources to draw on and more variety on how to deepen the work. One of my biggest takeaways is the network of other couples therapists to call on for peer support and referrals when I need them. Karen, I really appreciated your open, honest, relaxed manner and the care and thought that you put into the course.

”For me, this was one of the most enjoyable and engrossing courses I've attended. Over the 4 course days, Karen managed to bring us from introduction and overview to a position where seeing couples genuinely feels like a realistic prospect. I would highly recommend this course to anyone who would like to equip themselves to start seeing couples, or even just for an additional perspective on dynamics in relationships to bring to their individual work.
