Attachment Based Training

Attachment-Based Case Formulation & Therapeutic Support

The training covers essential theoretical concepts of Attachment Theory and Practice and facilitates skills and understanding of the following areas:

  • What attachment behaviours are people able to use and how are they associated with certain ways of thinking and expressing oneself in interactions with others?
  • How do I recognise attachment behaviour in myself and others?
  • How can I best use this knowledge to engage with clients in the most effective and relationship-building way to facilitate positive change?

Key aspects of discourse analysis and an attachment-based interviewing framework add to the rich learning experience of this introductory 3-day training.

I wish I had this training earlier in my teaching career. It gave me deeper understanding about reasons behind behaviours that I have seen in the classroom.

Jessica's expertise, together with her clinical wisdom, and warm and engaging style, makes her course a rich learning experience. This training will be enormously helpful for anyone wanting to deepen their understanding of attachment theory. Jessica's training will greatly benefit those who seek to understand the function of certain behaviours, and who want to learn about case formulation and intervention using an attachment-based framework.

Jess’s skilful and passionate approach to the training and the way in which she presents the Dynamic Maturational Model (DMM) is contagious. In fact, I haven’t been this excited about a psychological approach for years. I already practice from an attachment perspective but the functional orientation of the DMM and its utility has greatly enhanced my skills and competencies.  Already, working with the DMM I have witnessed accelerated results for my clients in terms of increased reflective functioning and positive change. For some clients the changes are profound and rapid which is amazing. I highly recommend this training to all therapists and mental health practitioners.  Regardless of your experience and stage of professional development, whether you know a lot, or a little, about attachment theory, embracing the DMM will change the way you work and help your clients achieve greater outcomes.
