Work place supports and training
Staff supports
I have many years of experience of leading a staff counselling and welfare service within the NHS supporting staff with difficulties including anxiety, phobias, depression, loss, bereavement, suicidal ideation, stress, bullying, working with conflict, experiences of prejudice and trauma.
I have supported and coached individual and staff groups of all levels of seniority, offering critical incident support, reflective practice and consultancy. This and a previous career as a business consultant in the finance sector, have developed in me a keen appreciation of how this area of our life can be either vitalising or demoralising. I know for myself and have seen for others that a space to reflect on the options we have within or outside the work we are doing can be valuable in revitalising our lived experience.
Training
I enjoy and am experienced and skilled in developing and facilitiating training and workshops for staff groups, and undergraduate and doctoral degree programmes.
