I am a skilled Master NLP practitioner with extensive experience applying Havening Techniques to support both staff and inmates within a prison environment. I have successfully introduced Havening as a valuable resource for managing and alleviating trauma in a challenging setting. I have integrated Havening into weekly well being sessions, working closely with both staff and inmates. I understand the diverse experiences of each group and the intense emotional burdens they often carry. For inmates, Havening sessions provide a safe space to process and heal from past trauma, which can play a crucial role in rehabilitation and reduce recidivism. By helping inmates learn to self-regulate through these techniques, I have fostered an environment that supports mental and emotional resilience, contributing to improved well-being and positive behaviour changes.

For the prison staff, who face high-stress conditions regularly, Havening has been instrumental in managing work-related trauma and preventing burnout. This work has provided these professionals with tools to decompress and cope with the demands of their roles more effectively, creating a safer and more supportive atmosphere within the prison.

The impact of this integration has been substantial, with clients, including both staff and inmates, reporting enhanced emotional clarity, reduced stress, and a greater sense of control over their mental health and well-being. My dedication and vision is to transform lives by empowering individuals to confront and release trauma, heal, grow and become the best versions of themselves, in a safe, nurturing environment
