• What to do in what order with refugees and asylum seekers with PTSD.

I currently work alongside asylum seekers, refugees, sex workers, substance misuse and street homeless, supporting them with trauma therapy, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness and Interpersonal effectiveness. I am currently studying in Chester University, completing, ‘Attachment, Trauma and Mental Health (Children, Young People and Adults) ‘.

Through my work, and with a non judgemental attitude, I have been successful in engaging and working closely with individuals, forming therapeutic relationships, with those who have previously struggled to engage with other services in the past.
