Participants will learn about what constitutes a difficult client and their challenging behaviours, why client might be ‘difficult’ for one counsellor to manage, is not for another.
Participants will then learn how to cope with these client presentations using specific techniques for managing their behaviour and effectively reducing the disturbing interactions. There will be opportunities to explore typical reactions to difficult or disturbing clients and discover ways to manage both the client’s and their own emotional responses.
Role-plays and demonstrations will be used to enhance learning for various situations, and there will be opportunities to discuss the applications of the material to practical solutions. Participants will be invited to offer their suggestions/interventions during the webinar.

Dr. Ari Badaines trained as a clinical psychologist in the USA and received a post-doctoral National Institute of Mental Health fellowship in Washington, DC. Ari has been a consultant to numerous organisations including Relate in the UK, Richmond Fellowship and Youth-in-Search in Australia. He has taught at various universities in the USA, UK, and Australia including ACU and ACAP in Sydney and has also led workshops in over twenty countries.
Ari has been in private practice for over 45 years. The main theoretical orientation of his training was psychodynamic psychotherapy, and he had many years of supervised, clinical practice, including a one-year predoctoral internship at a psycho-analytic training institute in New York. As the demands for therapy grew, the ‘payer’ (governments, insurance companies, clients) demanded more parsimonious approaches, Ari undertook trainings to develop the skills for TLDP. He currently maintains a private practice in Sydney, consults to treatment organisations and supervises over therapists; he is a popular presenter for PESI and runs trainings in the UK and Europe twice a year.
