Mentalisation Based Treatment
Saturday, 25 January 2025 | 12:45 to 18:00
Quakers Meeting House, 77 Church Crescent, N10 3NE
Mentalisation Based Treatment (MBT) is psychodynamically-orientated and has been manualised with a focus in helping people to understand their own thoughts and feelings and why they do what they do and to help people to understand what others might be thinking and feeling and how come they might behave in the ways that they do.
The workshop is as an introduction to MBT and is not designed to enable participants to practice MBT. However, it will give you some new ways of thinking about your own work and aims to complement your existing skill set.

The workshop will explore key concepts of psychodynamic theory. The aim of the workshop is to enable participants to have a deeper understanding of the psychodynamic modality of counselling.

Dynamic Interpersonal Therapy (DIT)
Saturday, 17 May 2025 | 12:45 to 18:00
Quakers Meeting House, 77 Church Crescent, N10 3NE
Dynamic Interpersonal Therapy (DIT) is a time limited and structured psychotherapy, typically delivered over 16 weekly sessions. It aims to help the client understand the connection between presenting symptoms and what is happening in his/her relationships through identifying a core repetitive pattern of relating that can be traced back to childhood. Once this pattern is identified, it is be used to make sense of difficulties in relationships in the here-and-now that contribute to psychological stress.
