Mentalisation—the ability to understand one’s own and others’ mental states—offers a powerful lens for exploring what happens in therapy. This CPD session focuses on using mentalisation-based thinking to deconstruct and reflect on therapy sessions in greater depth. Participants will learn how to identify moments of mentalising and non-mentalising, explore emotional and relational dynamics, and enhance attunement with clients. Through clinical material, discussion, and practical exercises, therapists will develop greater self-awareness and insight into the therapeutic process. Ideal for those looking to deepen reflective practice and improve relational effectiveness across a range of client presentations.
