Working with Challenging Couples in Therapy
What are the most challenging presentations in Couples Therapy? How do you best work with very hostile or alternatively very avoidant couples?
Some couples arrive in therapy in deep distress — angry, guarded, overwhelmed, or entirely shut down. As therapists, holding space for challenging couples in therapy requires presence, skill, and confidence.
Whether you’re navigating intense hostility, stonewalling, or emotional withdrawal, this webinar will help you build practical tools for de-escalation, emotional safety, and deeper connection.
Charlie Stevens draws on decades of experience to support you in feeling steadier and more grounded in the face of relational chaos.
What You’ll Learn
In this 2-hour CPD training, Charlie explores:
- How to identify and manage escalated conflict in the room
- Ways to stay centred and connected in emotionally charged sessions
- What to do when one or both partners are shut down or avoidant
- Techniques for building alliance with each partner — without taking sides
- Strategies to invite more open, vulnerable communication
- How to support couples who are stuck in long-standing resentment and frustration
Whether the challenge is loud or silent, this session helps you meet it with clarity, steadiness, and confidence.
