The training runs over 10 weekly sessions (3 hours each) and follows the natural progression many couples experience in therapy:

• working with communication patterns and conflict
• supporting repair and reconnection
• deepening the work through experiential approaches
• navigating ethical complexity
• maintaining change and ending therapy well
Applying the Learning in Practice
Applying the Learning in Practice
Where appropriate, and if you feel ready, you may begin working with one couple during the training programme.
Following Session 4, which focuses on clinical readiness, contracting and suitability for couples work, you may have the opportunity to begin seeing a couple for their first session. The remaining sessions provide space to reflect on and support this work.
This step is optional and based on fitness to practice and professional judgement, ensuring that the work remains safe and supportive for both therapist and clients.
