Applying Attachment Theory in Clinical Practice: A Supervision Workshop with Jeremy Holmes
Applying Attachment Theory in Clinical Practice
Following the overwhelming response to his Legacy Interview, where Professor Jeremy Holmes masterfully wove together attachment theory, psychoanalysis, neuroscience and clinical practice, many attendees expressed a desire to understand how to translate his theoretical framework into their clinical work. So we are delighted to offer a unique opportunity to explore in more depth the practical applications of his ideas. In this supervision workshop, drawing on his decades of clinical experience, Jeremy will help participants develop their therapeutic sensitivity and clinical understanding through case discussion, helping bridge the gap between theory and practice.
Workshop Focus:
- Balancing security and exploration in the therapeutic relationship
- Working with different attachment patterns as they emerge in therapy

- Listening to the client
- Listening to your own thinking (countertransference)
- Listening to how your client responds to you
- Developing therapeutic sensitivity and marked mirroring
- Managing endings and transitions through an attachment lens
- Practical guidance on timing and delivery of interventions
Format:
– Brief theoretical framework linking attachment principles to clinical practice
– Live supervision of participant case material
– Interactive discussion exploring clinical challenges
– Q&A focused on clinical application
