Specialist Areas of Teaching
Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT) for PTSD
Compassion Focused Therapy can be particularly helpful for individuals with PTSD and Complex PTSD where difficulties with shame, guilt, self-criticism, and threat-based responding are prominent.
Teaching in this area focuses on:
- Understanding PTSD through an evolutionary and compassion-focused lens
- Working with shame, self-blame, and moral injury
- Supporting the development of compassion for self and others in trauma therapy
- Integrating CFT principles alongside trauma-focused interventions
- Workshops draw on clinical examples and are adapted to the experience level of participants.
Cognitive Therapy for PTSD (CT-PTSD)
Cognitive Therapy for PTSD is a well-established, evidence-based treatment recommended in national clinical guidelines. I offer teaching that supports clinicians to understand both the theoretical foundations and the practical application of this model.
Teaching typically covers:
- Core principles of the CT-PTSD model
- Understanding and working with trauma memories
- Addressing maintaining processes such as avoidance, hypervigilance, and unhelpful appraisals
- Adapting CT-PTSD for complex and multiple trauma presentations
- The emphasis is on developing confidence in applying CT-PTSD safely and effectively in real-world clinical settings.
