Systemic Consultancy
I partner with teams and organisations to provide systemic consultancy and reflective practice. My naturally warm and approachable style helps create safe, curious, and creative spaces where people feel supported to think deeply and explore new ideas and possibilities. These spaces can be used in many ways-to reflect, learn, and grow-while drawing on systemic tools and methods to navigate complexity and build new resources. I have particular experience working with staff and professionals in the care system, as well as with young people and adult learners.
Experience with:
- Group Supervision and Consultancy across multiple levels (Directors/Managers/Employees)
- Staff Training and Development
- NVR for informing organisational practice
- Therapeutic assessment, support and implementation for young people and teams
