Professional Consultation & Mentoring

Shona Innes Psychology offers professional mentoring and consultation services based on clinical research, historical trends, best practice and Shona’s own significant experiences. Sometimes, client presentations are new or there are emerging issues for which there is, as yet, no evidence base. At these times, it is important to have a solid grasp of sound theoretical and ethical frameworks to support professional decision making as well as a safe professional relationship that supports reflective practice.

Areas of interest include:

• Working with complex young clients
• Clients practitioners find “difficult”
• Personality disorders and their development
• Understanding trauma and its impact across the age span
• Co-morbidity and determining treatment priorities and limits
• Harmful sexualised behaviours and sexual offending
• Translating academic evidence to everyday applications
• Ethical boundaries and codes of conduct

Note: Professional mentoring and consultation services may be delivered via Skype or teleconference 1-on-1 or in groups of 2-4 people
