Countertransference is not always dramatic or obvious. More often, it shows up quietly — in moments of boredom, rescue impulses, over-planning, emotional withdrawal, or subtle shifts in boundaries and tone. These everyday reactions are easy to overlook, yet they often carry vital information about the client’s relational world and the dynamics unfolding in therapy.

In this webinar, we explore how therapists get “pulled in” without realising it, and how subtle countertransference shapes clinical judgment, therapeutic presence, and decision-making across modalities. Drawing on relational, psychodynamic, and trauma-informed perspectives, the session will help clinicians recognise early signs of countertransference before they turn into enactments or ethical difficulties.

Through clinical examples and reflective discussion, participants will learn how to identify countertransference as it arises, regulate their own responses, and use these reactions thoughtfully to deepen understanding and maintain therapeutic effectiveness. This webinar is designed for clinicians who want to strengthen their reflective capacity and work more confidently with the emotional demands of everyday clinical practice.
