Picture this:
It’s October. You’re scrolling LinkedIn. Colleagues are posting about the weekend they just spent with Maureen McEvoy in Sydney. They’re sharing tools they’re already using with couples, excited about feeling more confident, less alone.
And you feel that sinking moment: I should have been there.
We’ve all had that regret. The conference we missed. The supervision we didn’t book. The training that could have lifted our practice.
This time, you don’t have to miss it.
The rare chance to learn in-depth from Maureen McEvoy
On 8–9 November 2025, Maureen McEvoy, MA, RCC (visiting from Canada) — an international Imago workshop presenter, therapist, and trauma specialist — will lead a two-day intensive workshop in Sydney:
Healing Trauma, Restoring Connection – Trauma-Informed Couples Therapy Training
👉 This is Maureen’s only in-depth training in Australia for 2025.
She will also offer a one-day Imago supervision workshop on 10 November (drop a comment below for details on how to register) but the full two-day trauma-informed couples training happens only once this year.
If you want to strengthen how you work with couples carrying trauma, this is the weekend.
Why this matters for your counselling practice
Couples come to us with more than conflict. They bring trauma histories, attachment injuries, nervous system reactions that hijack communication. Standard talk therapy alone can stall or retraumatise.
This training will help you:
- Calm escalation and bring safety back into the room
- Integrate Imago, PACT, EFT, Gottman, Somatic, and Creative Arts therapies with confidence
- Use body-based tools to support regulation in the moment
- Strengthen your therapist presence and reduce burnout
- Earn 12 CPD hours recognised by PACFA, ACA, APS, AASW, AAPI, ASCH
And just as importantly, you’ll walk away with community. You’ll meet peers who know the weight of this work and who can remind you that you don’t have to carry it alone.
The Therapist Crew reflection
To make it fun, we’ve introduced the Therapist Crew — parts of us that show up in practice:
- Foggy Fran freezes, unsure which model to use
- Not-Enough Nellie doubts herself after difficult sessions
- Lonely Leo feels the ache of isolation in private practice
- Burnout Baxter has lost his spark
- Conflicted Chris juggles too many frameworks
- Ironic Irene hides behind humour while hurting inside
- Starting-Out Sara fears missing something critical
- Heavy Harry carries clients’ trauma home
- Mentor Maya is supporting others, still growing
- Wise Walter White wants to keep learning while passing on wisdom
