Working with people within the health, social care and therapy sectors means as professionals we also need to look after ourselves. It is common for us to be touched by a client’s story, and often their experience resonates with our own. In small groups, I work with professionals and trainees to help them reflect on themselves, their family experiences and explore how these may show up in practice situations with clients. I have developed a training and reflexive programme, suitable for workplace settings within the education and practice contexts.
