Trained in various therapies including approaches in DBT, CBT and REBT, I am able to advise as to the relevance of such therapies to individual case circumstance. I have received training (‘Working with Sex Offenders’) and I am a member of ATSA and I attend specific training in the USA particularly with regard to prevention, management and recidivism.

Working therapeutically with forensic patients, I have received specific skill training in risk assessment, including Psychopathy, Risk of Violence and Sexual Recidivism risk; balancing management of current and future risk with protective factors.
