Training & Talks

When strong emotions take over, communication can become difficult for the people seeking support and the people offering it. Understanding nervous-system responses can help teams notice what is happening beneath the words, behaviour or silence, and consider a steadier way forward.

I offer bespoke training, workshops and talks for practitioners, schools, NHS teams, workplaces and community organisations. Sessions bring together accessible brain–body learning, a neuroinclusive and trauma-informed perspective, and practical ideas people can use in their own setting.

Make space for a different conversation

Bespoke training and workshops

Training gives your team time to explore a topic together and connect it to situations they encounter in their work. We can shape a session around your audience, their existing knowledge and what you would like them to understand or do afterwards.

Depending on your needs, a session might include reflection, discussion, examples and practical activities. The aim is to leave people with language and tools they can begin to use, while making room for different ways of learning and participating.

Talks and presentations

Looking for a speaker for a conference, staff event, professional network or community gathering? I offer talks that make complex ideas accessible and connect them to real experiences of emotion, neurodivergence, relationships and communication.

A talk can introduce a new perspective, open up discussion or complement a wider learning event. Tell me about your audience and the conversation you want to begin.

Topics we could explore

These are starting points. We can shape the focus around the questions your team or audience is facing.

When words disappear

what can happen to communication during overwhelm, conflict or shutdown.

Before we call it behaviour

noticing nervous-system responses and considering what a person may be communicating.

Neurodivergent communication and emotional needs

making room for differences in processing, expression and capacity.

Rejection sensitivity and relationships

exploring patterns that can develop when rejection feels close.

The R.U.D Process®

reflecting on a difficult moment and finding a manageable next step.

Communication and repair

approaching misunderstandings, boundaries and reconnection with greater awareness.

Who is it for?

Training and talks can be developed for mental health and wellbeing practitioners, educators and school staff, NHS and health teams, workplace teams, parent and caregiver groups, and community organisations.

We’ll discuss the format, length and content so the session has a clear purpose and fits your setting. If you are also interested in offering Finding My Steady with Glad We Talked® to staff, clients or service users, we can discuss programme access separately.

Let’s plan something useful

Tell me who the session is for, the topic or challenge you want to address, your preferred date and whether you are looking for training, a workshop or a talk. If you are still working that out, a brief outline of your setting is enough to start the conversation.
