Relational Interventions in Action: From Theory to Live Clinical Skills

Facilitator: Alistair Berlin

Date & Time: Saturday 21 February 2026 | 10:00 – 17:00 (UK time)

Format: In-Person

This immersive, practice-oriented workshop bridges relational psychotherapy theory and live clinical skills. Participants will explore concrete relational techniques that can be applied immediately in client work through didactic teaching, structured clinical role-play, live clinical conundrums, group discussion, and reflective exercises. Bring your own clinical examples for experiential practice.

Learning Outcomes:
By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:

• Distinguish between one-person, one-and-a-half-person, and two-person psychologies in practice.
• Recognise and work with process-level material distinct from narrative content.
• Apply specific relational interventions in the here-and-now therapeutic relationship, including judicious self-disclosure.
• Navigate mutuality, asymmetry, and enactments using countertransference as a clinical resource.
• Work within the client’s window of tolerance to introduce relational challenge safely and effectively.
