Alison Curtis – Award winning relationship specialist – presents HACP’s October evening talk “What every therapist should know about couples therapy”

Individual Therapists!

• A peek behind closed doors of the similarities, and importantly, and differences in how couples therapists work compared to you.
• You will also understand how you can help your couples therapist colleagues, and inadvertently, how you can also hinder – or even sabotage – their work!

Couples Therapists (or for those aspiring to be), get clear on the following:

• Some essential qualities of a couples therapist
• How our contracting can save the day and keep us out of court should we ever get summoned
• How we measure our success rate – it might not be quite as obvious as you think!

We will cover

• Assessment of individuals and couples, the questions you need to ask
• The topic of intimacy – you don’t need to be qualified…
• The question of transference. No wonder couples therapists often charge more!
• We are all leaders and therefore we will all define culture in the therapy room – whether we like it or not

What you will take away

• Clarity about the different ways that couples therapists work compared to individual therapists
• Some of the mistakes that couples therapists can inadvertently make and ways to avoid them
• A feeling of confidence and encouragement if you are feeling you would like to do more of this work
• Knowledge of how you can help, or do more in this line of work
