Intensive Professional Training

Intensive training is available for qualified professional clinicians and clinical teams that will allow them to develop their skills and to learn and immerse themselves in the specific clinical protocols used at The Bateson Clinic ®.

Whether you want to focus on specific aspects of a chosen disorder or want expert training in treating resistant disorders we can tailor-make a training package to suit your needs. We also provide ongoing coaching and supervision in the model as clinicians engage with and implement the model into their daily practice.

What you can expect from our expert training:

• Highest quality training, grounded in the observation of successfully treated cases. Through this video based and live observation model we will offer an analysis of each psychopathology in all of its forms
• Planning: Learning how to plan a complete treatment
• Learning-by-doing: Each participant will be offered the opportunity through tested training processes to experience the use of the model for themselves
• Evaluation: Evaluation and supervision of ongoing cases
• Monitoring: We constantly monitor the training process, paying very close attention to feedback for “fine-tuning” of our programmes
