As well as mental health-related interests I have a passion for helping workers in all areas of health and social care to find the balance between fulfilling their duty of care and at the same time respecting the service-user’s right to take risks and to determine their own life choices. This isn’t quite so difficult a balance to strike as many people seem to think but it does sometimes take a little thought.
I’ve worked in many areas of social care and mental health care. However my main interests are in working with people diagnosed with schizophrenia or other psychotic states, personality disorder and those who harm themselves. I’m also particularly interested in finding ways to work with people whose behaviours are ‘challenging’.
I believe that it is never enough simply to write people off as ‘difficult’, ‘unco-operative’ or ‘manipulative’ and much of my training is about helping workers to engage and work with people who have complex needs.
