Training
Attachment-based training for counsellors and psychotherapists.
From CPCAB courses to post-qualifying CPD, my teaching focuses on helping you translate theory into thoughtful, relational practice.
Whether you are at the beginning of your training or looking to deepen your work as a qualified therapist, the intention is the same: to help you think more clearly and integrate attachment into the realities of clinical practice.
CPCAB Level 5 Diploma in Attachment-based Psychotherapeutic Counselling
This course is designed for qualified counsellors (Level 4 or above) who want to:
-
Explore how early attachment and developmental trauma shape relationships across the lifespan.
-
Work more relationally and intuitively, understanding the dynamics beneath the surface.
-
Deepen their practice beyond tools and techniques, developing therapeutic presence and attunement.
-
Build or refine a private practice grounded in attachment-informed, ethical work.
-
Work towards professional accreditation with bodies such as the BACP, UKCP, or NCPS.
This diploma offers more than theoretical knowledge. It supports you to bring curiosity, compassion, and depth into your work - and to feel confident in who you are as a therapist.
If you feel ready to go deeper, this could be the right next step for you.
Skills Training
I lecture on CPCAB counselling skills courses, supporting students at the beginning of their training.
My focus is on helping trainees understand what makes counselling different from everyday helping, and on developing presence, ethical awareness, and reflective practice from the outset.
If you are a training provider looking for a tutor who brings attachment-informed thinking and real clinical grounding into the classroom, I would be happy to discuss working together.
CPD for Qualified Therapists
Alongside formal teaching, I deliver CPD workshops for qualified counsellors and psychotherapists, including through Onlinevents.
These sessions are reflective, clinically grounded, and attachment-informed. The focus is on deepening understanding rather than adding another model to memorise.
Recent themes have included working with avoidant attachment, understanding defensive processes in the therapy room, and using supervision as a secure base.
Guest Expert
I contribute to professional conversations on attachment, relational practice, and counselling skills through podcast appearances and other media.
I am part of the Attach Together podcast, created by the therapists and tutors at Optima Health Services, where we explore attachment as it shows up in clinical work and supervision.
If you are looking for a guest speaker or podcast contributor on attachment-informed practice, you are welcome to get in touch.
