I provide a range of training, from two-hour online lectures and seminars to multi-day workshops and bespoke training programmes. My approach is informed by clinical experience, research and a commitment to making complex and sensitive topics accessible, relevant and useful for professionals working in a range of settings.

I have delivered training, lectures and workshops for organisations including:

The Royal College of Paediatrics
Rape Crisis Scotland
The National Association for People Abused in Childhood (NAPAC)
Tavistock Relationships
The NAOS Institute
The Safer Society Foundation, USA
The University of Edinburgh

Training topics

Training can cover a range of subjects, including:

Understanding trauma and its impact
Intersectionality and trauma
Trauma across different developmental stages and ages
Childhood sexual abuse and its impact
Sexual abuse and its wider implications
Men, masculinity and shame
Understanding shame and its relationship to trauma
The impact of trauma on relationships and behaviour

I recognise that every organisation and audience is different. For this reason, most of my training is bespoke and developed around the specific needs, context and experience of the client. Training can be adapted in terms of content, length and format, whether you are looking for an introductory lecture, a more in-depth workshop, or a programme of training for a particular team or organisation.

My aim is to create training that is thoughtful, engaging and practical, while allowing space to explore the complexity of these subjects. Where appropriate, sessions can incorporate discussion, case examples and opportunities for participants to reflect on how the material relates to their own professional practice.

If you are considering training for your organisation or team and would like to discuss your requirements, please get in touch. I would be happy to talk through your needs and develop a training format that is appropriate for your audience.
