Event Overview:

This two-day online experiential training invites counsellors to deepen their understanding of family and couple relationships through the lens of Satir Transformational Systemic Therapy (STST). Drawing on Virginia Satir’s integrative model of change, participants will explore how patterns of communication, coping, and self-esteem shape connection — and how transformation becomes possible when the therapist’s own congruence becomes the guiding instrument of change.

Through teaching, demonstrations, guided practice, and reflective dialogue, participants will learn practical applications of Satir concepts that can be immediately integrated into their clinical work with couples and families
