Skyrocketing interest rates... housing and cost of living pressures... climate change and natural disasters, wars, tragedy... and the list goes on!
Living in a world that feels out of control has created unprecedented levels of anxiety across society.
And when clients’ anxiety spirals out of control in your therapy room, it can make therapy difficult, frustrating... And even increase your own anxiety when you think about how to help these highly anxious clients.
That’s why it’s essential you have the skills to ground your clients and yourself as you confidently and calmly apply your professional know-how to relieve their suffering.

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.
