Presenter: Dr Dan Hughes (expert clinician, prolific writer, and founder of Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy)

In this webinar, Dan demonstrates his amazing model of relating to children and young people, called PACE (playfulness, acceptance, curiosity, and empathy). PACE brings a wonderful sense of psychological safety for even the most defended of children, meaning that profound human connection that heals can become a reality. For the past 20 years, Dr Hughes has specialised in working with children and young people who have considerable difficulty establishing and maintaining good relationships, due to the level of betrayal, trauma, abuse and neglect they have suffered. In the webinar he will demonstrate how PACE can bring transformational change to so many of these children, as well as empowering their carers to be emotionally available and to stay regulated under stress. PACE is informed by strategic and structural family therapy, Ericksonian hypnotherapy, psychodynamic principles, psychodrama, interventions congruent with Theraplay, and narrative work. In this webinar Dan will use a wealth of actual case examples to demonstrate PACE.
