This workshop is designed to enhance your skills and confidence in working with trauma online, and offers a comprehensive exploration of specific interventions aimed at creating safety and stability in clients.
During this workshop, we will delve into case vignettes to bring these interventions to life, providing practical examples that can be applied directly to your practice. While EMDR will be discussed as a modality, no prior knowledge is necessary to participate fully and the interventions will not be EMDR specific. I hope this will be an interactive and collaborative workshop, and will be looking at building participants skills and confidence working with people who have been impacted by traumatic events.
The workshop will focus on psychoeducation for both practitioners and clients, offering valuable insights into the principles of Polyvagal Theory and the Window of Tolerance. By incorporating these concepts into your practice, you will learn effective ways to support trauma survivors and create a safe therapeutic environment.
Our goal is to boost your confidence in your existing skills and foster a collaborative learning environment. Join us in this workshop, where you will gain new ideas and strategies to integrate your current practice online while honing your abilities in working with trauma.

Presenter
I am a qualified counsellor accredited by BACP, an EMDR therapist, and a clinical supervisor based in Inverclyde. In my approach to counselling, I value collaboration and recognize that each person’s journey is unique.
My initial training in pluralistic therapy has provided me with a broad understanding of different therapeutic models, and since qualifying in 2015 I have furthered my training and experience, focusing on recovery from trauma and highly stressful experiences. This has included training in Eye Movement Desensitisation Reprocessing (EMDR), the Comprehensive Resource Model (CRM) and Deep Brain Reorientating (DBR). I have worked across the private, charity and public sector, including Rape Crisis centres, Women’s aid and the NHS. I am currently working for Mankind in Brighton providing therapy for men who have had an unwanted sexual experiences, as well as working privately as a therapist and supervisor and teaching within the Open University.
