Abstract: This introductory session is designed for mental health practitioners seeking a clearer, evidence-based framework for working with couple distress. Participants will be introduced to the core principles and stages of Emotionally Focused Couple Therapy (EFCT), an attachment-based model that understands relational problems as patterns of emotional disconnection. The presentation will highlight how to identify negative cycles, use emotion as a driver of change, and apply key therapeutic skills such as attunement, validation, and enactments. Attendees will gain insight into how EFCT helps partners access and share vulnerable needs, soften rigid positions, and build more secure bonds—offering a foundation for further training in this powerful relational modality.

Abstract: 

Therapies zaBantu (of the people) unpacking African Psychology within therapy practice.

There is an ever-growing need from clients and patients to experience therapies beyond individualistic, Western frameworks that limit, do not see and do not engage their understanding of self, selves and life experiences. Both the theory and practice of African Psychology offer useful resources for the questions: ‘Why am I/we not well? How do I/we become well? Who are we? Who am I ?’

Using examples from practice, this workshop will unpack how to work within an African psychology framework. The presenters will share aspects of conceptualisation, assessment tools and techniques that will empower and equip practitioners, that can work alongside Western frameworks where needed.

Abstract:Many South African psychologists are already using AI tools, but few are talking about it openly. This 2-hour workshop goes straight into the “grey zone” where real practice lives: drafting reports with ChatGPT, translating feedback letters, shaping treatment plans, and managing admin under pressure. We will unpack real-world scenarios, name the risks, and build simple, practical guardrails that fit our ethical codes, POPIA, and South African realities. If you have ever thought “I’ll just quickly run this through an AI tool” and then worried about whether it was acceptable, this session is for you.
