In partnership with Optima Health Services and CPCAB.
I also provide training for organisations and professional groups who want a clearer understanding of behaviour, communication, and stress through an attachment lens.
Attachment theory offers a practical framework for understanding why people respond so differently under pressure - why some become anxious, others shut down, and others move quickly into action. When understood well, it can transform approaches to leadership, conflict, safeguarding, staff wellbeing, and client engagement.
Sessions are tailored to the needs of the organisation and can range from introductory awareness sessions to more in-depth workshops exploring communication, psychological safety, and managing challenging interactions.
