Expert training to prepare you and your team.

Bespoke, expert training

Training.

Each training session I run is bespoke. I adapt each programme for the intended audience, considering their backgrounds as well as their aims and reasons for purchasing the training package.
I have written and facilitated training for CAMHS, Hampshire County Council, LAGLO’s within the Hampshire Police Force, numerous schools and colleges across Hampshire, regional charities and therapeutic organizations.

Prices are dependent on the programme and your needs from the session. They are competitive, with reductions for third party and charity sectors.

Training on gender and sexuality.

Gender & Sexuality

I have an in-depth working knowledge of the LGBT+ community. I have set up and run LGBT+ youth groups across Hampshire with Breakout Youth, been a group facilitator and group counsellor with Chrysalis supporting transitioning transgender adults. Through private practice I consistently work with LGBT+ clients from age 10 upwards.

I am fully trained in Relationship & Sex Education, having co-facilitated training with Sexual Health Services in regards to RSE in the LGBT+ community.

I run sessions on working with LGBT+ young people; LGBT+ and mental health; gender identity and the transgender journey; sex and sexuality. If there is a particular angle of working with the LGBT+ community you would like training on that is not covered in these sessions, I will happily research and write a programme to cover your needs.

Training on understanding self harm and suicide.

Self Harm & Suicide

My therapeutic career began working with young people. In 2018, a Young Minds survey reported over a third of 16 to 25 year olds have self-harmed. The British Journal of Psychiatry reported in 2021 that 7% of British young people attempt suicide by the age of 17. Suicide is the biggest killer of males under 35 in UK.

This training progamme looks at how we can support people with these issues – how to talk about it, the language to use. We look at why people self harm, and the importance of harm minimization, as well as coping mechanisms and safety processes.

It is an emotive topic and the training comes with a health warning. Self care is essential, and I am there to keep people safe and a space to talk through any feelings should the need arise.
