Training, Consultation, and Supervision Services

Bespoke services for professionals
working with young people.

Working with young people with mental health conditions, emotional well-being and behavioural issues is challenging and complex.

Whether you work in social care, education, or health settings, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed when supporting these young people and their families.

Connected Futures Psychology's bespoke training, consultation and supervision services can help you further develop your confidence and expertise when working with young people and their families. Providing you with the knowledge and skills needed to deliver a high quality service that achieves the best outcomes for the families you support.

As an accredited DDP therapist, my specialist expertise are in Relationship Difficulties, Therapeutic Parenting and Developmental Trauma. I am also an approved DDP Connects PACE trainer, supervised and trained by Dr. Kim Golding.

All services are bespoke and so are tailored to fit your needs. Working with an individual, or a whole team, my services are here to ensure you’re equipped to deal with the daily challenges you face.

Connected Futures training is also available for foster and adoptive parents who feel they need more support with therapeutic parenting, or are struggling to cope.

Clinical Supervision and Consultation

Consultation is provided for professionals and foster and adoptive families who would like advice and specialist support when they have concerns about a young person they care for.

During a Connected Futures' Consultation, families and professionals are helped to understand their young person's needs and how best to support them.

Consultation is a collaborative and reflective space where you can develop psychological insight into the young person you are supporting. I can then offer specialist advice which may include options for specific parenting strategies, avenues for school support and/or future intervention.

Packages are bespoke and can take a variety of forms. They may be a one-off, a group consultation or an extended consultation period over days or weeks.

Supervision can be provided for a variety of professionals including clinical, mental health and social care professionals, and psychologists.

My role as a supervisor is to support your professional development by growing and challenging your psychological understanding and therapeutic practice. All supervision is facilitated in a safe and supported nature.

The supervision will be tailored to your needs and preferences, and can be in groups or one-to-one.
