An update about our CPD offer for the rest of 2025:-
Short notice availability: CAT in the Perinatal Period online ~ 9/16 September
If you missed Sarah Douglass’ in-person CPD day in June , there is another chance to join her and international colleagues for a repeat, split over two online morning workshops on 9th and 16th September. But you’ll have to move quickly, as booking closes this coming Friday, 22nd August. The workshops are relevant to trainee and qualified CATs, other therapists, plus CAT-interested professionals working in the perinatal field. We are offering them at the lower ‘ACAT member’ fee for all; online payments only. Please alert any colleagues who may be interested, especially those who like an early start to their day! Details are at: CAT in the Perinatal Period: two 3-hour online workshops led by Sarah Douglass ~ 9/16 September 7-10 am UK time
ACAT-Accredited CAT Supervisor Training Workshop ~ 4/5 December ~ Manchester
An in-person, non-residential, northern opportunity to complete Module 2 of ACAT’s CAT Supervisor Training Pathway. This workshop (with additional online pre- and post-training information sessions) offers you two solid days with Mark Evans and Glenys Parry focussing on a relational approach to CAT supervision and potential challenges in the supervision relationship. There will be presentations, skills demonstrations, role play and a chance to explore your own supervisory style. The online information/Q&A sessions with Dawn Bennett will help you be clear about stages in the training pathway to become an accredited CAT Supervisor. Following the in-person workshop, Dawn will facilitate the participant group’s exploration of setting up your own supervision groups (Module 3) as a next step in the process.
We very much encourage those who are eligible to train as CAT supervisors to do so in support of the expansion of CAT training both locally in your own Trusts and services, and nationally. Build your skills and confidence as a CAT Supervisor so you can be a part of these exciting developments. Existing CAT supervisors seeking to refresh their supervision-related CPD, and others not intending to seek accreditation, are also most welcome to attend. All details are at: ACAT accredited 2-day in-person workshop in CAT Supervisor Training (plus online pre-meet and follow-up Q&A session ~ led by Mark Evans, Glenys Parry and Dawn Bennett ~ in-person component on 4/5 December 2025
CAT as a Tool for Leadership ~ 12 December ~ Online
David Harvey offers another online opportunity to attend his very popular day workshop on how CAT can assist you in a leadership role. The day is particularly suited to those working in, or supporting others working in, traumatised systems where CAT’s multiple self states model can be helpfully applied to help improve care and manage difficult feelings and systemic processes. A handful of spaces are still available and full details are at: CAT as a Tool for Leadership led by David Harvey ~ 12th December 2025
Our other two previously announced CPD offers for 2025 are filling up, but you can still book places for either of these:
Integrating CAT for Complexity ~ 24 September ~ Liverpool
Join the Spring House team in Liverpool to hear about their specialist NHS community service approach to working with people diagnosed with severe ‘personality disorder’ and complex trauma. This day provides participants with an understanding of the theory and practice of working with those attracting such diagnoses. You’ll learn about underpinning CAT theory plus practical applications within the Spring House approach, including consultative work with the teams and services around this client group. You will also have a chance to draw on both team members’ and other participants’ perspectives through group discussion and exercises, live supervision of clinical dilemmas, and open questions. Full details are at: Integrating CAT for Complexity: a specialist NHS community service approach to working with people diagnosed with severe personality disorder and complex trauma ~ a one day in-person workshop led by Simon Graham and team colleagues from Liverpool’s Spring House Service ~ 24 September 2025
Enhancing CAT through Internal Family Systems (IFS) Therapy ~ 28 November ~ Manchester
Maria Kaltsi and Melanie Lee return for a second run of their day workshop introducing the IFS approach and how this sits alongside their CAT practice.
