I am able to plan, prepare, and facilitate seminars for a range of topics depending on your organisational and service based needs. I have extensive experience presenting informational and skill-practise material i.e. academic settings, seminars targeting expert and non expert audiences. The language used is always simple to help people understand what is communicated to them. Audiences include: teenagers, adults, older adults, professionals of varied backgrounds, clients and patients. Below, you can find an example of my previous work.

This seminar was presented in UK’s National Health Service. It explained how counselling psychology fits and can be utilised within an integrative care context. The seminar also highlighted how the philosophical and ethical standpoints of counselling psychologists regarding clinical practice can promote organisational developments and service provisions.

This was an online seminar created and presented for the parents of Children’s workshop Montessori Training Centre. Initially information regarding the emotional development milestones children reach according to their age, from the ages 0-6. We then discussed specific techniques parents can use to encourage the child’s healthy emotional development. Examples were also presented and discussed through role play to help translate learning into practice. Moreover, additional activities targeting the development of self-control in children were presented.  At the end of the presentation, time was dedicated to discussing with the caretakers the fact that they might need to pair their own efforts with the help of a mental health professional. To assist with this, we discussed a set of indicators parents could rely on to assess whether such a cooperation might be beneficial for their child and family.

This seminar was prepared for and forwarded to GPs in order to help promote multi-disciplinary practice amongst mental health and health professionals. Mutli-disciplinary practice is a type of cooperation achieved by professionals of various specialisations, where they commonly aim to achieve a holistic care plan for their patients. The seminar provides information for the interaction between mental wellbeing and physical difficulties, since 40% of GP visits in the UK involve a mental health difficulty which is often misinterpreted as a purely physical health condition. The seminar focused specifically on individuals whose difficulties are not adequately improving through medical interventions i.e. chronic symptoms and psychosomatic symptoms. A frame work of identifying patients who could benefit from multidisciplinary practice is also presented, to assist in streamlining multi-disciplinary practice.
