Working With Cait

I facilitate opportunities for you to discover skills that you didn’t know you had, and teach new strategies that empower you to act, think and behave in a more robust way when exposed to the toughest of what life throws up.    

Which means - I specialise in translating best practice psychological science on trauma and resilience into accessible and pragmatic training and consultation for fact checkers, media organisations, journalists, human rights advocates, academics, historians and other ‘information integrity professionals’ exposed to traumatic content as part of their work.. 

Which is a fancy way of saying - I am a registered psychologist; my job is to educate, support, consult and coach those of you wanting to manage work related exposure to extreme stress and trauma.
