For psychotherapists, psychologists, psychiatrists, marriage and family therapists seeking expertise in couples’ therapy
Offered by Sophie Slade, Ph.D., Certified Imago Relationship Therapist, Workshop Presenter and Clinical Instructor and Ian Tomlinson, Imago Advanced Clinician and Workshop Presenter.

Requisites
- Attendance at a ‘Getting the Love You Want’ couples workshop
- Membership of UKCP or an equivalent nationally recognised regulating body with standards of training, supervision and ethics
What you can expect from the training
- A deep theoretical understanding of couple relationships which serves as a map to guide your interventions – why we pick the partners we do, why we have the conflicts we have, and what to do to move into the joy that is our essence
- Practice in developing skill in facilitating couples, holding them gently and firmly in new ways of connecting through the Imago dialogue processes, deepening their empathic connection, and empowering them to heal their relationship
- A personal growth experience that will quite possibly impact your own personal and professional relationships, your way of working with all your clients and your way of being in the world
- A sense that couple therapy can be fun and enlivening for you and your clients
Imago Relationship Therapy is a research-supported, systematic theory of relationship therapy developed by Harville Hendrix, Ph.D., author of ‘Getting the Love you Want: a Guide for Couples’, and Helen LaKelly Hunt, Ph.D. IRT powerfully synthesises major aspects of depth psychology, object relations, systems theory and humanistic-existential theory into a comprehensive approach to working with relationships.
