Practical, engaging mental health training grounded in real-world experience.
Whether you're supporting clients, leading a team, or working directly with the public, training should be practical, engaging, and immediately applicable. My workshops combine clinical knowledge with real-world experience to create learning experiences participants can confidently apply in their work.
Training That Goes Beyond the Classroom
The best training doesn't end when the workshop is over. My goal is to create engaging learning experiences that build confidence, encourage discussion, and leave participants with practical tools they can begin using immediately.
Current Training
ASIST
Build the confidence and practical skills to recognize suicide risk, respond effectively and intervene safely using an internationally recognized, evidence-based model.
safeTALK
Recognize the signs of suicide, start supportive conversations, and connect people to appropriate supports with confidence.
Motivational Interviewing
Strengthen communication skills that help people explore ambivalence, strengthen intrinsic motivation, and support meaningful behaviour change.
Solution-Focused Brief Therapy
Help people identify their strengths, clarify their goals and create realistic next steps that support meaningful, lasting progress.
Qualifications & Experience
Training is most effective when it's grounded in both evidence and real-world experience. With over 20 years working in mental health, I bring practical knowledge, engaging facilitation, and a collaborative approach to every workshop. My goal is to create learning experiences that are relevant, interactive, and immediately applicable to participants' work.
