Reflective Practice
We are happy to create bespoke Reflective Practice packages for any proffesional groups working with children with attachment needs or complex developmental trauma. These can be offered both in person or online.
All Reflective Practice support is underpinned by the therapeutic approaches of Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy (DDP) and PACE. Sessions are structured and based on recognised models of Reflective Practice, including Gibb's Reflective Cycle, Kolb's Eperiential Learning and Kurtz's Intersubjective Model of Reflective Practice Groups.
Residential Staff Support
Specialist packages of consultation or reflective practice can be designed for residential staff teams. These have proven beneficial in increasing the therapeutic understanding within the home and the empathy and understanding that staff have for the children in their care.
Management Team Reflective Practice
We also provide support to management teams looking to improve the therapeutic practices across their services and staffing groups. This can be particularly effective in supporting services to grow their therapeutic knowledge and increase understanding around team dynamics and staff motivation.
Video Enhanced Reflective Practice (VERP)
Video Enhanced Reflective Practice (VERP) can also be offered to staff teams wishing to reflect in more depth on their practice.
VERP is a strengths-based approach to professional development based on relationship building and the awareness of attuned interactions. VERP was initially created using the principles and beliefs of Video Interactive Guidance (VIG). VERP uses video content to focus on the positive aspects and attunemnt in interactions within the workplace. (Kennedy& Landor, 2015).
Pricing
Reflective practice groups (maximum of 8 participants) from £175 per hour.
VERP cycle (recording, video editing and feedback session) £395 per cycle.
Supervision
Clinical supervision is an essential tool when working with complex children and families and aids child focused decision making. Supervision can provide a space to reflect on practice and think through emotive and difficult situations.
Supervision provides time to consider our own needs and process the sometimes painful emotions that work with this client group can elicit. Making time for supervision can allow us to provide better, more effective services for the children and families we support.
At Oasis Psychology, we provide supervision for a range of professionals working with complex children and young people. We use a DDP informed model to be curious about the needs of children and young people and empathise with their needs. There can be space in supervision for formulation, for reflection and for moving cases forward.
Clinical Supervision
One-to-one supervision can be provided to any professional working with children with attachment needs or developmental trauma.
We are also able to offer supervision to groups of professionals either working using the therpeutic models or working together with families.
Supervision sessions are underpinned by Attachment Theory, DDP, and Cognitive Analytic Approaches.
Supervision can be tailored to suits the needs of the professional and can be offered face to face or online.
Trauma Informed Schools Supervision
Dr Laura Bennett is an approved Trauma Informed Schools Supervisor and able to provide supervision to Trauma Informed Practitioners working across a rnage of educational settings.
Schools can be frightening places for children with attachment needs and trauma histories. Laura believes that children are more likely to be successful in education when the educational approach is relationship based and allows children the opportunity to feel safe and secure.
Pricing
Individual supervision from £150 per hour
Group supervision (maximum of 8 people) from £175 per hour
A safe, therapeutic space
The team at Oasis Psychology understand the importance of providing a safe, consistent space for therapeutic support. Our therapy rooms, located in the centre of Wimborne, Dorset provide a comfortable space for professionals, parents and carers and children to meet their therapists and work through their concerns.
We also provide good quality tea and coffee for professionals in need of refreshment and a steady supply of drinks and snacks, for those children who live with the past trauma of not having been fed.
