In recent years there has been a significant paradigm shift in our understanding of addiction and its’ manifestation in later life.
We are moving beyond genetic determinism to begin to fully grasp the relationship between addiction and the experience of stress and trauma in early development. This psycho-social-neurobiological basis implicates key treatment areas for therapeutic practitioners who are working with addictive processes in their practice.
This workshop will therefore provide attendees with an overview of contemporary perspectives on addiction and its basis in early relational experience.
These perspectives will also be explored in light of their implications for clinical practice, providing an introductory guide to therapeutic work in this area.
This talk is applicable to attendees from all training modalities and provides an introduction to the Certificate in Working with Addictions (24 hours) course for those of you who may be considering this.

Dr. Rachel Hopping is one of the Partners of The Link Centre, a Counselling and Psychotherapy training centre based in Sussex and Online. Rachel is a Counselling Psychologist and UKCP Registered Psychotherapist and has worked with a wide range of clients both within the NHS and in private practice.
Rachel utilises an Integrative Relational model of psychotherapy, which centralises early relational experience upon the development of the self and later pathology. She incorporates these perspectives into both her practice and teaching, placing the quality of relating between therapist and client as the primary factor for growth and change.
