Real knowledge. Brought to life.

Real knowledge. Brought to life.

Training should do more than tick a box. It should shift how people think, how they feel about their work, and how they show up for the people they support.

I bring over a decade of experience as a registered social worker, psychotherapeutic counsellor and clinical supervisor to every training session I deliver. That means the theory is always grounded in real practice, the kind of situations professionals actually face, not hypothetical case studies.

VLM Training

I have delivered training across a range of settings including local authorities, health services, education and the voluntary sector, working with social workers, therapists, carers, educators and beyond.

Areas I deliver training in include:

Safeguarding
Delivered in collaboration with Lou Mason Coaching, this training supports professionals across a range of settings to understand their responsibilities, recognise risk and respond appropriately.

Life Story Work
Specialist training for therapists and practitioners working with children and young people, drawing on my depth of experience in adoption and children’s services.

Vicarious Trauma
Supporting professionals who hold the weight of others’ trauma every day. This training helps teams and organisations understand, recognise and respond to vicarious trauma – creating cultures of reflection rather than resilience-at-all-costs.

Therapeutic Parenting and Attachment
Linking theory to practice for carers, parents and professionals supporting children with early trauma and disrupted attachment.

Reflective Practice
Facilitated sessions for teams and organisations looking to create space for honest, supported reflection on complex and emotionally demanding work.

All training can be created and tailored to your organisation’s needs. Get in touch to discuss what would work for you.
