Reflective Practice: A Path to Insight and Growth

​

RTT applies a structured approach to reflective practice, called relational mapping to support teams to pause, take a step back, and understand the impact of their experiences. By reflecting on what has happened, we help teams identify patterns, find new ways to relate, and build their resilience in the face of challenges like compassion fatigue and burnout.

​

Relational mapping is a technique that enhances conversational quality and group facilitation. It allows for the safe exploration of interpersonal interactions that can underpin tensions and strong feelings, so that team relationships are strengthened.

​

Relational mapping comes from the evidence-based approach of Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT), which focuses on understanding interactions— with ourselves,  with others and systems—to foster deeper insight and change.

 

Cultivating Relational Intelligence

​

Our methods use practical tools to create a culture of reflection and growth. We aim to enhance individual and group relational intelligence, which is defined as: ‘a combination of social and emotional awareness with an understanding of how we interact within ourselves, with each other, and within broader systems.’

 

This awareness helps teams to:

​

• Notice, Name, and Navigate difficulties at work, including tensions and conflicts.

• Strengthen Relationships through connection, collaborative working, and group support.

• Recover from Workplace Events like organisational change or collective challenges (such as COVID-19).

​

By cultivating relational intelligence, teams can adapt to challenges, improve well-being, and build a sustainable, supportive work culture.
