Information About Esther - Scarborough trainer

Personal Description:

I have ten years experience firstly as a stress management consultant and more recently as on occupational psychologist with an emphasis on behaviour change, positive cycles of thought and emotions, communication and mental health at work.

Training Specialisms:

I am a qualified teacher of tai chi and meditation and then moved on to cover training as one of the specialist areas of both my MSc and my Chartership qualification with the British Psychological Society. I have trained with small and large groups as well as individuals - all in private, public and third sector organisations. Most of my work has been done in Yorkshire and Humber with clients including Yorkshire Water, Humberside Probation Trust, East Riding of Yorkshire Council, Hull and East Yorkshire Mind and Ryedale PCT.

Training Methods:

I believe in tailoring sessions to the participants. This will begin before the session is run (at the point of commissioning). As the session begins, I am continually collecting information from individuals on the ways they prefer to receive and digest information, their individual goals (as part of the organisation's goals in corporate work) and the benchmarks/feedback that reflect effective training. A mix of visual, auditory, discursive, and activity are used with flexibility built in to adapt to preferences as above. The training will have a combination of sound, up to date evidence-based information from relevant research journals and publications, practical application and individual progression in their context.
