In Dialogue Training
Lee Crothers, Director of In Dialogue, is focussed on providing teams and services training and consultation that leads to sustainable learning where teams feel they are “speaking the same language” around service provision. Lee provides tailored training packages that offer consultations to enhance learning in context.
The training packages are centred on increasing the use of a relational framework, from Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT), that allow any discipline to use their specialist skills whilst considering and using the relationship between individuals, clients and systems.
Background
Building on strong clinical expertise through over 20 years’ experience in mental health, as an occupational therapist and psychotherapist, Lee has undertaken a certificate in assessment and training (Cert IV-TAE) and has over ten years’ experience in delivering mental health training, having held training and consultation positions at Orygen, National Centre of Excellence in Youth Mental Health.
In 2003 Lee learnt Cognitive Analytic Therapy (CAT) and it proved an effective therapy in her work with young people who had traumatic and chaotic lives whilst offering a systemic approach to care planning around complexity. Lee went on to help develop and co-facilitate the 2-year CAT course at Orygen, leaving in 2016 to develop In Dialogue, a practice and education service that could offer the relational framework of CAT to a wider audience.
