Workshops for businesses and organisations:

Currently, my organisational-level workshops are focused on helping organisations to provide more inclusive, holistic, and trauma-informed care for clients/patients (e.g. providing care for LGBTQIA+ clients; clients with historical and/or ongoing trauma; clients experiencing family violence; clients with alcohol, drug, or other addictions; clients engaging in sex work; and clients from CALD backgrounds), as well as understanding and acknowledging the role of intersectionality and privilege within helping-profession relationships.

An essential component of these workshops is helping teams to work together more effectively, and supporting individuals within those teams to thrive as well. (Frequently addressed topics include: effective communication strategies to utilise with colleagues and with clients; accessing resilience in the face of challenges; responding rather than reacting to difficult or complex situations; developing more compassion for self and others; developing safety and support systems within the workplace; recognising signs of burnout or secondary trauma; avenues for self-care and community care; and creating a culture of curiosity/ongoing professional development and education).

I aim to support organisations to have better-functioning workplaces, with all-around happier and healthier people (employees and clients, alike), and the capacity to engage in difficulty conversations with an eye to ongoing growth.

All workshop offerings, whether for organisations or for individuals, include a component of knowledge acquisition and practical skill development as well as experiential learning.

Workshops and trainings can be tailored to suit your organisation’s needs, ranging from 1 hourto multi-day trainings, with options for breakout groups and individual support sessions.

Workshops for individuals/general public:

My present focus is on my therapeutic work with individuals, couples, and groups, and my workshops for businesses/organisations. As such, there are no currently scheduled workshops for the general public.

However, please contact me if you are interested in attending a workshop on a particular topic.  I remain passionate about public workshop offerings, and if a number of people express interest, I may schedule a workshop, or create a therapy group around a similar theme.

Some previous workshop topics have included:

• Intro to mindfulness
• Anger management
• Assertiveness skills and boundary setting (overcoming people pleasing and co-dependency)
• Self-compassion practices (turning down the volume on the “inner critic”)
