Are you a therapist?

I am not a therapist. Instead, I am an independent mental-health trainer with an employment background in the adult mental health field and an academic background in the philosophy of psychology. I am also a trauma survivor with personal lived experience of voice hearing. For these reasons, I feel I can best help people by providing educational input and support through my training - a unique combination of my own lived experience filtered through the lens of clinical literature and academic research.

Is your training suitable for me?

My training is suitable across a range of diagnoses, including DID (dissociative identity disorder), DDNOS (dissociative disorder not otherwise specified), schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, psychotic depression, psychosis NOS, and so on. In other words: my training is suitable whenever there are auditory (or visual) hallucinations present.

Clients suitable for my training include the following:

- Psychotherapists
- Psychologists
- Counsellors
- Social care staff (e.g., social workers)
- Mental health nurses or CPNs
- Helpline staff or crisis support staff
- Volunteers providing support for voice hearers
- Voice hearers themselves
- Anyone working with voice hearers in a supporting capacity

Do you offer supervision?

I don’t offer clinical supervision, but can offer mentoring and consultancy to help build on your skills and understanding so that this can be integrated into your existing practice. Please ask about cost and availability via my contact form.

Do you offer consultancy?

I offer consultancy on 1) service provision or development for voice hearers and for 2) mental health workers to discuss specific case issues.
