ECPT Deep Dive Series: Imago Relationship Therapy

We are delighted to announce that our May Deep Dive session is being offered by Debbie Thomson.

This workshop offers therapists and trainees an accessible, clinically grounded introduction to Imago Relationship Therapy and how it links to Transactional Analysis (TA).

Participants will experience the Imago Dialogue process, a structured, regulating communication tool that supports differentiation, co‑regulation, and Adult–Adult relating. We’ll also discuss pathways for formal Imago training and what the clinical training involves for those interested in becoming an Imago Relationship Therapist.

When Therapist & Client Are Culturally Different — A Full-Day Experiential Workshop.

Following the brilliant feedback from our February Deep Dive and a strong demand for more in-depth CPD on this topic, we’re delighted to welcome Rajan Rai back for an in-person, full-day experience.

Join us at the Ellesmere Centre in Hull for a deeper, more experiential exploration of cultural difference in the therapy room.

📅 Saturday 20th June 2026
🕘 09:30am-5:00pm
📍 Ellesmere Centre, 861 Holderness Road, Hull, HU8 9BA
💷 £150 Standard Ticket | £135 ECPT Student/Paid-Up Member

What happens when therapist and client come from different cultural backgrounds? How might difference shape what is seen as “normal,” “healthy,” or “progress” in therapy?

This workshop moves beyond awareness into applied clinical practice including case material, rupture-and-repair work, and intervention-based exercises.

Whether you attended the online session or are new to the material, this workshop offers a rich opportunity to develop your reflexivity and clinical skill in working with cultural difference.

Feedback from the online workshop was overwhelmingly positive, with 20 out of 21 participants rating it “Excellent.”

At the Intersection of Neurodivergence and Trauma: Clients, Therapists, and the Therapeutic Relationship.

Join us for another of ECPT’s new CPD “Deep Dives” – short, focused, affordable CPD for practitioners and students.

We’re excited to launch our June session with Frances Simpson, a UKCP-registered Integrative Psychotherapist and lecturer in counselling psychology at Arden University.

📅 Wednesday 3rd June 2026
🕕 6.00–9.00pm
💻 Online via Zoom
💷 £35 + optional donation to our new Access Fund

This three-hour online training explores the complex and often misunderstood intersection of neurodivergence and trauma within psychotherapy. Drawing on relational–integrative theory, neuropsychological and developmental perspectives, and the facilitator’s lived experience as a therapist with ADHD, the session invites participants into a reflective and nuanced understanding of neurodivergent (ND) experience in therapy.

The session is relevant for therapists:
➡️ Working with neurodivergent clients
➡️ Those curious about their own neurodivergent traits
➡️ Clinicians seeking a more inclusive, trauma-informed, and relationally attuned practice.

Emotion Regulation - What is it and how do you use it in a therapy session?

Join us for ECPT’s new CPD “Deep Dives” – short, focused, affordable CPD for practitioners and students.

We’re excited to launch our second session with Dr Christine Dunkley, an author and renowned international trainer.

📅 Wednesday 22nd April 2026
🕕 6.00–9.00pm
💻 Online via Zoom
💷 £35 + optional donation to our new Access Fund

Many papers and articles discuss the need for emotion regulation but few go into the science of what this means and how therapists can use it. In this entertaining workshop delegates will find out how emotional intensity can be increased or decreased under our conscious control.

In this three-hour evening session, participants will learn:
➡️ Emotion Regulation - what it is and how to use it in a therapy session?
➡️ The link between an inability to regulate emotion and the problems clients bring to therapy.

Our elf on the tree (Eric Berne, of course) has been busy getting into the festive spirit at Ellesmere…with a little ‘elf-development’ along the way 📚

As the year draws to a close, we want to wish all our students, trainers, staff and wider community a restful winter holiday, however you choose to spend it.

And if there’s a quiet moment for reflection, learning or curiosity, our elf recommends TA: The Basics by the late Mark Widdowson, a brilliant and much-loved introduction to Transactional Analysis.

Warm seasonal wishes from all of us at the Ellesmere Centre ✨⛄🎁

CYP TA101: Introduction to TA Concepts & Practical Applications in Child-Focused Settings

Following on the success from the workshop earlier this year, we are delighted to bring back our 2 Day CYP TA101 in November!

This workshop offers a comprehensive introduction to the core concepts of Transactional Analysis, highlighting their effectiveness when working with children and young people. It is ideal for professionals working with CYP, as well as for counsellors looking to expand their skill set in supporting younger clients.

Here's what a previous participant had to say about this workshop:

"I absolutely loved the CYP TA101. I was training on the adults course, so already knew some of the theories, but still I learnt so much and began looking at concepts through a child's lens - which was fascinating! Creative, inspiring and Tracey is a brilliant trainer!"

Please note - An ECPT Certificate of attendance will be awarded upon completion but completing this training alone does not lead to registering as a Child/Adolescent Counsellor.
