Presenter: Dr Rowan Burckhardt

This workshop is for healthcare professionals who would like to improve their understanding of how to work with couples using Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). Developed by Dr Sue Johnson and Dr Les Greenberg, EFT is based on adult attachment theory and is an evidence-based therapy that has shown the best results in research trials on addressing relationship conflict. This workshop is an introductory overview, aimed at giving an understanding of why couples get stuck in their relationship, how to reduce the conflict, and how to replace the fighting with a more effective method of resolving their issues. This workshop is ideal for any therapist working with couples or seeking to work with couples who would like to improve their skills and knowledge of EFT and relationship repair.

The workshop will take place at 133 Dowling St, Woolloomooloo, NSW 2011. The workshop is free of charge. You will need to be a therapist, psychotherapist, counsellor, social worker, psychologist, psychiatrist, or GP to attend. There are limited spots available. To book, please phone the practice on (02) 8063 0116 or email reception@sydneycouplescounselling.com.au
