Social and emotional and mental health (SEMH)

I specialise in supporting client with their SEMH and issues that occur related to this. I have extensive experience and training in this area including:

• Solution focused brief therapy 
• Counselling skills level 2 qualification
• Developmental Dyadic Psychotherapy level 1
• Emotional regulation
• Making "SENSE" of behavoviour 
• Sensory processing and sensory processing difficulties
• Secure base 
• Trauma informed practice 
• Trauma and PTSD
• Bereavment and loss
• Understanding and supporting attachment difficulties and complex trauma
• Fundamentals of working with children and young people who have Social, Emotional and Mental Health Needs 

SEMH issues very often co-occur with communication difficulties for a variety of reasons. I am skilled at unpacking the meaning, reason and message behind a “behaviour and developing strategies to  support the client to reduce these “behaviours”. I work closely with the MDT to develop emotional literacy and regulation and facilitate access to mental health interventions through developing understanding of the processes around this and  language used for these interventions.
