My work is centered on people with histories of abuse – chiefly child sexual abuse, and narcissistic relationships. I provide support, information, and education to people with histories of abuse, and the people who support them. I offer programmes for parents who were sexually abused as children (The Lilac Programme); daughters of narcissistic mothers (The DONM Liberation Programme); sons of narcissistic mothers (The SONM Liberation Programme); women who wish to reclaim their sexuality post-sexual abuse (The Pink Orchid Course); parents of children and teens who were sexually abused as children (The Verbena Programme).
For medical professionals – including nurses, midwives, doctors, dentists, lactation consultants, and social workers – I offer courses in providing trauma-sensitive care to women with histories of child sexual abuse. Should you prefer, I can work with you to tailor-make a programme for you, and / or your organisation. In addition, should you require a speaker for an event, or a professional to provide a lecture, or a series of lectures, I would be happy to discuss your needs.
Please note that I am not a psychotherapist. Nor do I call myself a ‘coach’. I wrote about choosing a guide for your healing here. As you can see from that post, I am most comfortable calling myself a ‘mentor’. There is huge therapeutic value in what I do, and I am constantly learning and training in the area, but I am not a trained therapist.
