trauma-informed practice
Consultations
I offer consultations to leadership systems and individuals to support a move to trauma-informed practice.
This can be a one off consultation as you start to consider what a move to trauma-informed practice might mean for your organisation or an on-going series of consultations to support the move to trauma-informed practice.
I also offer individual supervision to practitioners who wish to develop their own practice using a trauma lens.
Consultation can focus on supporting work with a whole organisation or around addressing the needs of an individual or groups of service users.
During consultations with Kati she is able to support me in putting the dilemma I am facing into context of the wider system, breaking down the goals and talking through anxieties and worries that allow me to move when working with foster carers to create a common goal.
In my general practice I will be more aware of my own reactions when working with care leavers experiencing trauma, that I will modulate my own responses to not respond with my interpretation of what they are sharing, I will also be applying active listening when I’m aware that a young person in survival mode to ensure that I prompt responses that will help young people ask themselves what do they need to do to regulate and manage themselves regarding wellbeing.
