Training

I have a real passion for training. Over the past 30 years, I have designed and facilitated many different types of training for a variety of audiences and settings. I skilfully facilitate workshops, seminars and lectures and deliver keynote speeches at conferences. I receive very positive feedback from participants, who report that they find me knowledgeable, clear, and responsive to their needs as an audience.

I have a global outlook having worked with international audiences, participants and lived in different countries. I have listed below the types of workshops and groups that I routinely deliver:

• psycho-educational workshops (managing stress, anxiety, improving performance)

• personal development (assertiveness, self-esteem, coping with uncertainties)

• professional development (listening or tutoring skills for tutors and welfare staff)

• bespoke trainings for college senior tutors at Cambridge University

• teaching on professional trainings for therapists and university staff

• providing culturally competent support services, working with difference and diversity

• improving self-care and resilience

• mental wellbeing: challenges and guidance

• many addiction related topics (alternative to drinking, motivational interventions)

• variety of mental health trainings

 

I offer a wide range of training in psychotherapy, personal and professional development, cross-cultural work, or wellbeing in organisations face-to-face or online.
If you have a particular training need in mind, please do contact me so I can create something bespoke to the needs of your organisation.
