The Best Relationship With Your Child: Creative Quality Time

The quality of the parent-child relationship is one of the strongest protective factors for lifelong emotional wellbeing. Yet amidst the pressures of modern family life, truly meaningful time together can easily become squeezed out by routines, distractions and competing demands.

Drawing on attachment theory, developmental psychology and the latest neuroscience, this inspiring webinar explores how creative shared experiences help strengthen connection, promote emotional security and nurture healthy brain development. Rather than focusing on entertainment, it offers practical ideas that foster curiosity, imagination, delight and emotional closeness—creating the kind of everyday moments that children remember long after childhood has passed.

Sensory Enhanced Learning and Attachment Play for 5–12 Year Olds

Children continue to learn through movement, play and sensory experience long after they begin school. Rich sensory experiences stimulate multiple areas of the brain simultaneously, supporting attention, memory, emotional regulation, creativity and cognitive development.

This webinar explores how sensory-enhanced learning and attachment-based play can transform everyday interactions into opportunities for connection, exploration and growth. Grounded in neuroscience and child development, it provides a wealth of practical, enjoyable activities that strengthen relationships while supporting children's emotional wellbeing, confidence and love of learning.

Communication Skills and Attachment Play for the First Five Years

Communication begins long before children speak their first words. Every smile, shared gaze, playful interaction and emotionally attuned response helps shape the neural pathways that underpin language, emotional regulation, social development and secure attachment.

This webinar explores the extraordinary importance of the first five years through the lens of neuroscience, attachment and developmental psychology. You'll discover how playful, responsive communication strengthens relationships, supports healthy brain development and provides the secure foundations from which children develop confidence, curiosity and resilience throughout life.

Use of emotion cards with children and teenagers to help them heal

Children and teenagers often experience emotions long before they develop the language to describe them. When difficult feelings remain unnamed, they are more likely to be expressed through behaviour, withdrawal, anxiety or emotional overwhelm.

This practical webinar explores how emotion cards can become a powerful therapeutic and parenting tool, helping children externalise feelings, build emotional vocabulary and engage in meaningful conversations about their inner world. Grounded in psychology and relational practice, it demonstrates how visual prompts can support emotional literacy, strengthen communication and help children develop the insight needed for emotional growth and healing.

Supporting Parents to Use Play, Acceptance, Curiosity and Empathy (PACE) in Relating to Their Child

Children need connection most when their behaviour makes it hardest to provide. Developed by internationally renowned clinical psychologist Dr Dan Hughes, PACE- Playfulness, Acceptance, Curiosity and Empathy, is one of the world's most influential attachment-based approaches for strengthening relationships and supporting emotional healing.

This webinar explores how parents can use PACE to move beyond conflict and behaviour management towards deeper understanding and connection. Through practical examples and real-life scenarios, you'll learn how curiosity and empathy reduce defensiveness, strengthen trust and create the emotional safety children need to regulate their feelings, develop resilience and flourish—while maintaining clear, consistent boundaries.

Using arts and imagery to help children and young people talk about their lives

Children often reveal their inner world through creativity long before they are able to describe it verbally. Drawing, painting, music, poetry, storytelling, puppetry and sensory experiences provide powerful, developmentally appropriate ways for children to explore feelings, process difficult experiences and communicate safely.

This webinar explores how creative therapeutic approaches can deepen assessment, strengthen therapeutic relationships and facilitate emotionally meaningful conversations. Grounded in attachment theory, neuroscience and psychotherapy, it offers practical guidance for integrating creative interventions into therapeutic work with children and young people across a wide range of professional settings.

How to use big empathy drawings in therapeutic conversations

Feeling genuinely understood is one of the most powerful therapeutic experiences a child can have. Big Empathy Drawings use simple visual metaphors to communicate empathy, helping children explore complex emotions without relying solely on language.

This innovative webinar demonstrates how practitioners can use visual representations to strengthen connection, validate emotional experience and support children to reflect on difficult thoughts and feelings. You'll develop practical skills that enrich therapeutic conversations while expanding your repertoire of creative, relational interventions.

Sandplay therapy: a key intervention for trauma recovery

Traumatic experiences are often stored as sensory, emotional and implicit memories rather than coherent verbal narratives. Sandplay Therapy provides a psychologically safe medium through which children can express, organise and gradually make sense of these experiences using symbolic play.

Grounded in attachment, developmental psychology and trauma theory, this webinar explores both the theoretical foundations and practical application of Sandplay Therapy. Practitioners will gain a deeper understanding of symbolic communication and learn how sandplay can facilitate emotional regulation, reflection and trauma recovery within therapeutic practice.

Using storytelling and story listening as a therapeutic tool with children and young people

Stories have long been recognised as one of humanity's most powerful ways of making sense of experience. For children, metaphor and narrative provide emotional distance that allows difficult feelings, fears and relationships to be explored safely, often revealing thoughts that would otherwise remain unspoken.

This webinar explores the therapeutic use of storytelling and story listening within relational practice, demonstrating how carefully chosen stories—and careful listening to the stories children tell—can deepen understanding, strengthen therapeutic relationships and support emotional healing. Combining psychology, attachment and creative therapeutic practice, it offers practical approaches that can be immediately integrated into work with children and young people.

Working with children and teenagers who suffer from depression

Depression in children and teenagers is rarely simply about low mood. It often reflects a complex interaction between early relationships, painful life experiences, chronic stress, neurobiology and the way young people come to understand themselves and the world around them.

Drawing on psychology, neuroscience, attachment theory and clinical practice, this webinar explores how depression develops, why it presents so differently across children and adolescents, and how adults can move beyond symptom management towards approaches that promote genuine healing. You'll gain a richer understanding of the psychological processes underpinning depression, together with practical, relationship-based strategies that help young people rediscover hope, connection and emotional wellbeing.

What Every Teen Needs to Know About the Neuroscience and Psychology of Mental Health and How to Heal

Understanding how the brain works can be profoundly empowering for teenagers. Rather than seeing themselves as "broken" or "wrong", young people begin to recognise how stress, relationships, trauma and life experiences influence their thoughts, emotions and behaviour—and, most importantly, how recovery is possible.

This webinar explores how psychology and neuroscience can be translated into clear, accessible psychoeducation that helps teenagers make sense of anxiety, depression, emotional overwhelm and everyday mental health challenges. Ideal for professionals and parents alike, it provides practical ways to foster self-awareness, hope and emotional resilience while equipping young people with knowledge they can carry throughout life.

What Every Teenager Needs to Know About Sexual Relationships

Conversations about sexual relationships often focus on biology or risk. Yet healthy relationships are built upon far deeper psychological foundations—including attachment, identity, emotional regulation, consent, empathy and self-esteem.

This thoughtful webinar explores how adults can support teenagers to develop a psychologically informed understanding of intimacy, relationships and emotional wellbeing. Grounded in developmental psychology and neuroscience, it equips professionals and parents to move beyond factual information towards conversations that help young people build healthier relationships, recognise unhealthy dynamics and make thoughtful, informed choices.

Understanding the Causes of Violent Behaviour in Children and Young People and How to Help Them Heal

Violent or aggressive behaviour is often viewed simply as defiance or deliberate misconduct. In reality, it frequently represents a complex survival response rooted in trauma, fear, shame, attachment disruption and chronic emotional dysregulation.

Drawing together attachment theory, neuroscience and developmental psychology, this webinar explores the pathways that can lead children and young people towards violence, while challenging simplistic behavioural explanations. You'll develop a deeper understanding of why traditional responses often fail, and discover relationship-based approaches that promote safety, emotional regulation and long-term recovery.
