Training and Consultancy
I deliver training on stalking awareness and coercive control for professionals working in therapeutic, legal, and organisational settings. My clinical experience and corporate background in learning and development mean I understand how to translate complex psychological material into practical, applicable knowledge.
My training draws on my clinical work with clients who have experienced stalking, coercive control, and gender-based violence, as well as my published writing and ongoing research engagement in these areas.
I have a corporate background in learning and development and human resources, including a CIPD Level 3 Diploma in Human Resources Practice. Before training as a therapist, I worked in organisational training and development. This means I understand how professionals learn, how to structure sessions for maximum impact, and how to hold difficult material in a way that is rigorous without being overwhelming.
Training can be tailored to your organisation's needs. Topics I cover include:
- Recognising the signs of stalking and its psychological impact
- Understanding coercive control and how it presents in professional settings
- The Domestic Abuse Act 2021 and its implications for practitioners
- How to respond when a client, colleague, or service user discloses abuse
- The difference between mediation and safety – why some interventions cause harm
- Trauma-informed approaches to supporting people affected by abuse
I work with therapists, counsellors, social workers, HR professionals, legal practitioners, and anyone whose work brings them into contact with people experiencing abuse or coercion.
Training is educational and does not constitute clinical supervision, therapy, or legal advice. I do not deliver perpetrator programmes or anger management training. If you need specialist input outside my scope, I can help you find an appropriate provider.
If you are interested in training for your team or organisation, please get in touch to discuss your requirements. I offer both one-off sessions and longer programmes depending on what you need.
