Training

MFT-AN is a world-renowned group therapy approach that we’ve developed and refined over the last two decades. Like FT-AN, this treatment aims to help families pool their resources, rediscover their strengths and actively take part in the process. However, MFT brings together groups of families to form a unified community, who can share their experiences and find common solutions. Our intensive four-day training programme integrates both didactic and experiential modules, with negotiable ongoing supervision.

Eating disorders will commonly manifest alongside mental health conditions such as perfectionism, distorted body image and OCD. CBT-ED is a form of behavioural therapy that targets co-existing difficulties in young people struggling with anorexia nervosa or bulimia nervosa. We offer a two-day workshop, covering the fundamentals of CBT for eating disorders.

The Cutting Down is a manualised CBT approach for working with young people who self-harm and engage in suicidal behaviours. It consists of 14 sessions for patients, and 5 for their parents and carers, integrating techniques from traditional CBT, ACT and DBT models. The programme teaches adaptive skills that target the symptoms of depression, anxiety and other emotional difficulties that may lead to self-harm. This is a two-day training.

This two-day training focuses on evidence-based treatments for bulimia nervosa and associated emotional dysregulation difficulties, including systemic, CBT and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT).

RO-DBT is a new treatment method that targets a spectrum of disorders characterised by excessive self control, or over control (OC). Focusing on the communicative functions of emotional expression (such as social signalling and neurophysiological arousal), this approach promotes social bonds and reduces isolation. Our one-day introductory workshop will take you through the basic principles of this model, and the ways in which it can address eating disorders in young people.

ABFT is a family therapy approach used to treat depression in adolescents. Studies have proved ABFT’s effectiveness in reducing the symptoms of depression and suicidal thoughts. In collaboration with Professor Guy Diamond and Dr. Suzanne Levy, we offer introductory, intensive and advanced training courses.

The aim of this programme is to offer a two-day masterclass in supervision for the Maudsley Family Therapy for eating disorders (FT-ED) and Multifamily Therapy for Eating Disorders (MFT-ED). This Intensive two-day masterclass will include basic principles of supervision, FT and MFT/ED specific supervision, and complex case discussion.

The programme is designed for experienced clinicians and supervisors, with significant experience in delivering FT-ED and MFT-ED and providing supervision for eating disorders multi-disciplinary teams. It can include experienced supervisors of FT- ED and MFT-ED from all disciplines (i.e. Psychiatrists, Family Therapists, Clinical Psychologists, Psychotherapists, and Nurse Specialists).
