Working with conflict in couples therapy can be intense, unpredictable, and emotionally charged. This live webinar is designed to help therapists navigate those moments with more clarity, steadiness, and confidence.
You’ll learn how to take leadership in the room without becoming controlling, how to de-escalate when emotions rise, and how to support both partners while holding your own centre. Most importantly, you’ll build the confidence to face conflict — not avoid it — and use it as a catalyst for insight and change.
What the webinar covers:
+ Develop a grounded, confident approach to conflict in couples therapy
+ Understand reactivity through the vulnerability cycle
+ Create structure and safety in high-conflict sessions
+ Set strong, compassionate boundaries
+ Integrate what you already know from individual therapy into your couples work
+ Use practical interventions you can apply immediately after the session
About the Presenter: Karen Murphy is the founder of the Institute of Couples Therapy and an IACP-accredited psychotherapist and supervisor. She brings over 500 hours of specialist training in couples work, alongside a background in EMDR, adolescent psychotherapy, and family constellations.
