CAT isn’t only useful as a formal therapy or training model.

One of the things we’re interested in at CAT Training Australia is how relational ideas can be used more broadly — in supervision, reflective practice and teams.

Our colleagues at Relate & Reflect are doing exactly this

Drawing on relational ideas, including those from CAT, Lenice Murray and Lee Crothers look at how patterns can emerge not only for the people we work with, but between practitioners, within teams and across systems and support supervisors and team to reflect on this.

The focus isn’t on formal CAT training. It’s about developing practical ways for teams and supervisors to notice what is happening relationally, map it together, and create space for shared reflection rather than locating the difficulty in one person.

Because sometimes what keeps us stuck is not simply “in” the person.

It’s in what happens between us.

In December 2024, Two days of relational learning, practical CAT skills and rich conversations about working with young people facing complex lives. A reminder that compassionate, collaborative practice translates across cultures. And yes, I am wearing my “I love CAT cap” given to me from my lovely supervisees. NewsAndEvents

Lee’ s teaching style is friendly, respectful and approachable. I thought she did a great job tailoring CAT towards ED presentations. It was comprehensive (as much as 2 years of training can be condensed into one day!) ~ Andi, Clinical Psychologist

— The team at Graymind

GrayMind psychology in Brisbane brought Lee in to run the Introduction to CAT training across their whole team. What began as a single training day grew into a lasting shift in how the service thinks and talks about the people they work with — a shared relational language now used in supervision, case discussion and everyday client work.

ANZAED Conference

Lee’s pre-conference workshop at ANZAED 2025 was the session that set everything in motion. Over a full day, a room of eating disorder clinicians worked through CAT as a relational framework.

A short, jargon-free explainer of Cognitive Analytic Therapy for clients and curious practitioners — what CAT is, where it comes from, and what working relationally actually looks like. Free to read, free to share.
