About Us
Offering support and help on the healing journey for children, young adults, adults and families affected by attachment, trauma, and dissociation.
About NM Trauma Recovery
NM Trauma Recovery has been developed based on 20+ year’s experience working with children and adults impacted by adverse childhood experiences. The service offers several training packages designed to help develop and embed a clear understanding and empathic responses for individuals and organisations working with or caring for trauma survivors. The overall aim is that we can help to develop services that are trauma informed and help individuals to implement reactions and responses from an empathic stance facilitating a sense of safety and healing, preventing further traumatisation or confirming damaging beliefs.
We also offer 1-1 therapeutic interventions for adults impacted by early life trauma that is still intruding on their present day functioning.
About Me
I am a therapeutic counsellor with 19 years experience of working with children and adults who are impacted by trauma. I also have over 53 years experience of life within the care system, as a child, a carer and a therapist. I am the founder of NM Trauma Recovery, and between 2015-2020 was director of SCS Training and Therapy Ltd, a therapeutic service which undertook specialist assessments and therapy, working with children and families impacted by disrupted attachments, trauma and dissociation.
I spent my early childhood between home and foster placements from the age of 2 until being permanently placed at the age of 7 years. This experience alongside my professional experience, has enabled me to develop an understanding of the trials and frustrations of the child trying to fit into a world they don’t understand, the carer / parent whose attempts to offer support and nurturing are so often rejected and the professional trying to provide the specific interventions needed to support the child and those in caring and supporting roles.
I have worked with children with emotional and behavioural difficulties since 1999 and have also worked as a residential care officer, private foster carer, family support worker and therapist. I have also developed and delivered training nationally and internationally, specialising in Attachment, Trauma and Dissociation, and Inner Child Healing providing support and training to families, agencies and schools.
