Avoidant Attachment (In Person Event): Working with emotional neglect, rejection, and criticism
With Linda Cundy. 2pm-5.30pm. Led by psychotherapist and attachment expert Linda Cundy, this in-person workshop will explore how avoidant strategies develop, how they show up in therapy, and how we as therapists can work with the ambivalence, defences, and relational ruptures that often arise. Linda Cundy is an Attachment-Based Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist, clinical supervisor, and authort. She has twenty-five years’ experience of teaching, providing training and presentations, and is the Attachment Consultant to the Bowlby Centre. Avoidant attachment is a pattern of relating shaped by early relational experiences such as emotional neglect, rejection, or criticism. While individuals with an avoidant style may deeply long for intimacy, they often experience closeness as overwhelming or unsafe, leading to patterns of emotional withdrawal and self-protection. This workshop will include an exploration of the therapist’s own emotional responses, such as frustration or disconnection, and how these can offer insight into the client’s inner world. We’ll identify early signs of avoidance, reflect on its developmental origins, and consider ways to build trust without overwhelming the client. Through discussion and reflection, participants will deepen their understanding of how to remain emotionally present and engaged even when the work feels stuck. An online version of this event is also available for those who cannot attend in person. See TR Together website for details. For full event, pricing and CPD credit details see https://trtogether.com. This event is offered by TR Together, Tavistock Relationships' learning and development community.

An Introduction to Therapy with Couples
Explore central theoretical concepts of psychodynamic couple therapy with Ellen Burridge & Shannon Ashton. In this 11-week online seminar series (7pm-8:30pm on Mondays), participants will explore what it is like to work with couples in therapy. This comprehensive series offers both the opportunity to read theory by key figures in the field and to think, through group discussion, about its application in the work with couples. Film clips and relevant case material are also used to help you gain deeper insight and understanding into this fascinating and burgeoning area in the field of psychotherapy. Topics covered include what brings couples together, shared unconscious relationships and couple fit, holding the ‘couple in mind’ in therapy, unconscious phantasy and beliefs, projective processes in couples, sex and sexualities, aggression and violence in couples, couples and parenting, ageing and relationships, depression and psychological issues, attachment styles within couples, and intergenerational aspects in relationships. Time is spent as a group discussing and reflecting on these topics, this type of work and the dynamic of couple relationships in therapy. With three in the room the work becomes quite different. Our seminar leaders are both experienced couple therapists themselves, trained at Tavistock Relationships and immersed in the TR model of understanding and working with couples. This course offers CPD credits for psychotherapists and is a fantastic grounding to pursue any of our clinical trainings, whether you are a beginner looking for a career change or trained to work with individuals and interested to learn more about being with a couple in the room.

How to Write Case Studies
Two online workshops with feedback opportunity with Aner Govrin. 13 February 2026 and 20 March 2026, 2pm-5pm (UK). This comprehensive workshop addresses a critical gap in psychotherapy training by focusing on how to write case studies. While clinicians spend hundreds of hours in individual and group training devoted to therapeutic work, the writing of case studies is rarely taught systematically. We are offering a structured approach to this essential professional skill including the opportunity between workshops and after the course has concluded to send a piece of writing to course convenor Aner Govrin for personalised feedback. Clinical writing requires both literary elements and clinical reporting to capture the essence of therapeutic encounters. This is a complex task, in this first workshop we will think together how, without compromising the material, we can write about what we do with both rigor and creativity. Through an examination of various writing techniques, guidance on how to structure a case study, the development of characters, the practicalities of handling timeline management the first workshop offers a practical, clear and engaging workshop to get started and map out how you will write your case study. The second workshop builds on the learning of the first alongside the experience between the sessions. We will considers alongside the technical aspects essential challenges such as overcoming writer's anxiety and block, getting started and considering an ending to the writing. We will also look at issues of maintaining patient confidentiality while preserving an aliveness in the material. Finally the workshop examines how different psychoanalytic schools approach case writing, and how this may influence the writer and writing process. Overall the course will offer a combination of theoretical instruction, practical exercises, and examination of exemplar cases, as well as direct feedback on their writing participants will develop the skills necessary to document their clinical work effectively, whether for training requirements, professional presentations, or publication purposes.

How Can Psychotherapists Treat Chronic Pain?
An online six week series with Frances Sommer Anderson, PhD, SEP, Katy Wakelin, PhD & Alice Jacobs Waterfall (Facilitator). This six-week course combines theoretical lectures with experiential and interactive learning. Participants will engage in embodied exercises, maintain a pain diary, and review clinical and case study literature. Each session begins and ends with experiential exercises, all of which can be completed from the comfort of your own home. Chronic somatic pain is a global health issue that has not yet been fully addressed by medical approaches alone. Between one third and one half of UK adults live with some form of chronic pain. Many clients present to psychotherapy with both emotional and physical challenges. Traditional psychological approaches often implicitly accept a mind/body split, overlooking the importance of embodied experiencing as part of treatment. This course will enable psychotherapists to work confidently with clients suffering from chronic pain once medical assessment has been completed. Fran Sommer Anderson will demonstrate her integration of theory and treatment within a relational/interpersonal psychoanalytic framework. She draws on contemporary research in the neuroscience of attachment, trauma, and somatic pain, as well as her extensive experience in body-focused treatments and 45 years working with chronic pain. Participants will learn that somatic pain is a highly subjective experience encompassing sensory, affective, and cognitive elements. The course equips psychotherapists with practical tools to support clients by attending both to pain conditions and embodied experience. Important note: The content of this seminar is intended for professional development and should not be used by non-medical practitioners to diagnose chronic pain conditions. Techniques demonstrated are intended for use only after a client has received a medical diagnosis. For full event, pricing and CPD credit details see https://trtogether.com .

Compulsive Eating & GLP-1 Weight Loss Drugs
Appetite, control, longing, and desire in the consulting room. With Susie Orbach, Jean Petrucelli & Tom Wooldridge. Working with patients using the new injectable weight loss drugs such as Ozempic, Mounjaro, and Wegovy is new, unchartered territory. Heralded as revolutionary offering effortless answers to appetite, desire, and the unruly hungers that have long troubled so many, these medications raise profound questions for clinical practice. How will such a powerful disruptor alter clinical work with patients who struggle with eating disorders and in particular compulsive eating? As Winnicott might observe, appetite is not merely biological but relational, it speaks of the earliest dialogue between baby and caregiver, between needing and being met. When hunger is silenced, the psyche may lose one of its most vital forms of communication. These drugs risk bypassing that conversation, replacing spontaneous experience with managed control, a “false self” solution to the difficulty of being in one’s own body. For decades, consulting rooms have been filled with people struggling to live within bodies that feel uninhabitable, burdened by cultural demands for thinness and mastery. GLP-1s may perpetuate this estrangement, challenging the task of learning to live from one’s body rather than managing it. Through these talks, we will explore what it means when technology promises to correct the body without engaging the emotional conflicts it expresses. How do we work with patients whose relationships to hunger, pleasure, and need are being reprogrammed at the biochemical level? And what becomes of the therapist’s task? Join Susie Orbach, Jean Petrucelli, and Tom Wooldridge for an engaging and thought-provoking online conference. For full event, pricing and CPD credit details see https://trtogether.com .
