NVR Practitioner (Level 2)
I work with groups and individual families and teach the NVR approach to parents/carers/SGOs or professionals working with children and young people. This can be done face to face, online or a combination of the two.
My Experience
I have been professionally co-delivering the NVR course online for over a year to groups of families in or near crisis. I work for PAC-UK as a Parent Graduate and have simultaneously been gaining professional qualifications in NVR. I am registered with NVR UK and am completing the Level 3 Practitioner course which is due to be completed in Spring, 2024. I came to NVR as a parent in crisis and have enjoyed miraculous success with the NVR approach in my family. I also apply the principals in all my practice as a tutor, teacher and consultant; it works pretty much everywhere!
As part of my NVR Practitioner Level 3 course I have professional supervision in place in addition to the supervision in place as a current NVR Parent Graduate with PAC-UK.
I am registered with ISO for Data Protection, have up to date child protection training (NSPCC) and insurance necessary to carry out the work described here.
Why do I think I could help you?
I've lived through child on parent violence first-hand and bringing NVR into my home has helped us build a closer, stronger and more connected family.
I use NVR techniques to successfully help children in schools to reduce the number of suspensions they receive to nil and avoid permanent exclusion.
I understand how difficult it is to get help on this issue. Factors such as shame and a feelings of failure are very common. You are not alone. Seeking help is a clear indication that you haven't given up.
