About the lesson

CURRENTLY ON MATERNITY LEAVE UNTIL LATE 2023

I am very lucky that I have had a lot of wonderful students contact me through this website and have supported them in a number of ways since April 2020. Some have weekly support and some see me on an ad hoc basis.

I have supported social work students within my workplace as their practice assessor recently meaning I am up to date with university expectations, reflective practice and written work.

My teaching method is a collaborative one which enables the student to reflect upon and grow as a social work practitioner. I am nurturing and honest.

I break down pieces of work/ information into manageable chunks, offer guidance, share knowledge, ask questions to help develop reflective skills, linking theory to practice and a client centred way of practice.

I can offer bespoke tutoring in the following areas:
- specific subject areas for courses or degrees that a student may be struggling with.
-proof reading assignments, essays or dissertations.
-breaking down assignment or exam criteria. Supporting with what to cover, learning objectives and onward signposting to reading resources.
-preparing for practice placement
-legislation and policy lessons
- Developing reflective practice and critical analysis skills

I can also discuss specific needs and we can also create a plan together.

About Katy

I qualified as a social worker in 2012 with a First Class Honours degree. I have completed my ASYE programme, practice educator award and now in a senior position at a specialist child and adolescent mental health setting working with parents and young children or babies within a attachment disorder service. This involves specialist assessment, report writing to courts and therapeutic interventions to break cycles of inter-generational abuse, trauma and neglect.

I have experience of working in a range of fields including:
child protection teams (front line practice and managing a team)
court work
older adults
Children looked after
CAMHS
Attachment and trauma services

I have completed commissioned pieces of work for the NSPCC including gangs, modern slavery, operation yewtree and also helped to set up a child protection helpline in Northern Ireland.

I am an ABE trained social worker and have also completed PPEP (psychological perspectives in education and primary care) training to deliver this within my current role to a range of professionals to develop their knowledge in mental health and how to support children experiencing these difficulties.

I now teach professionals on a range of mental health subjects and specialisms as part of my current role. I offer therapy to patients and in a group setting. I have vast knowledge in attachment and developmental trauma. I am also qualified to deliver DBT informed skills, MBT (mentalisation based therapy), NET, VIG and CBT informed practice.

My experience within a mental health setting and the above therapies also give me the skills to support students who may be anxious, stressed or failing. I am available to offer support and coaching if required too.

I’ve had 4x tutor sessions with Katy. She has helped me to prepare for my final statutory placement and a law exam. I have found Katy to be helpful in developing my knowledge and my confidence with social work practice. Katy has also helped me link theory to practice, which I struggled with during previous placements!
