Watch, Wait and Wonder®
Intervention
The training is in line with the Recommended Standards for Independent Practice of the Watch, Wait and Wonder Intervention [1999©] established by Elisabeth Muir, Mirek Lojkasek and Nancy Cohen when all worked at the Hincks-Dellcrest Centre and Hincks-Dellcrest Institute. Incredible Families is the Trust providing the governance and operational oversight of the training programme.
Our Services
Introductory Training
Three days focus on this dyadic psychotherapy that makes a space for the infant to be active and communicate with their parent. The training provides participants with a basic theoretical and technical foundation in the Watch, Wait, and Wonder® Intervention.
This intervention is helpful for infants and young children with relational, behavioural, regulatory and developmental difficulties.
The course is recommended for clinicians who are working with infants,
pre-schoolers and their families and concerned to support the parent-child relationship.
Advanced Training
This course focuses on clinical practice and building therapeutic skills. Participants need to have completed the Introductory Course, used the intervention with at least one dyad and been supervised through this work.

Network Meeting
These meetings are open to all practitioners who have completed the Introductory Course. Typically, there are extended case presentations, discussion of further training initiatives and new developments in the practice of the intervention. It is also our opportunity to celebrate achievements with WWW including those clinicians who have completed their Training.
Supervision
Guidance and support await in our supervision sessions, where therapists can navigate complexities and enhance their Watch Wait Wonder practice with expert oversight.
